You are doing too much. Try this
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make menuconfig
3. make-kpkg clean
4. /usr/bin/make-kpkg --revision=********* ( as root)
5. dpkg -i ../kernelpackage.deb (this as root)
6. reboot
OR
1. cd /usr/src/linux
2. make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage
3. make modules
4. make modules_install
5. make a boot disk or run lilo (after modifing lilo.conf)
6. reboot
:-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-)
