Did you indeed install the source in your home directory, as this line
implies?

> cp ~/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot

If you installed the source from an RPM, I think the default location is
/usr/src, which is why I ask.  I also ask:

Did you get any fatal errors during the kernel compile? (You probably
would have noticed ;D)
What's in your /etc/lilo.conf?
What does "ls -l /boot/bzImage" say?
