The documentation that I have (I don't know where from) tells that
1) prior to do "make (menu)config" you should remove some remote links
   (I am sorry, but I don't have the information here)

2) After "make zImage" the new kernel resides in ... arch/i386/boot/zImage. 
   Lilo however, is told that the file /vmlinuz contains the kernel. Therefore
   you should make a symbolic link of the kernel file to /vmlinuz before 
   running Lilo, e.g. do
      $ cp /boot/vmlinuz /boot/oldkernel
      $ cp arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz
      $ rm /vmlinuz
      $ ln -s /boot/vmlinuz /vmlinuz
      $ /sbin/lilo


I hope this is of help.
