What happens if you do
make dep
like the message says? ;)

On my RH boxes, I do ( from memory.... might have
forgotten something )
make dep
make modules
make modules_install
make bzImage
then I cp arch/i386/bzImage to /boot/bzImage-2.4.20
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.20

I use grub and set it up to use /boot/bzImage-2.4.20
You only need to do that once with Grub. If you use
lilo, you need to run lilo again to re-read the
new kernel.

Something like that.
