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 :-)
