How did you compile the kernel?  If you did it by hand (i.e. not with
make-kpkg), you need to run a separate make command to make and install
modules. ("make modules", then "make modules_install".)

But I would suggest using make-kpkg (a.k.a. kernel-package).  Just a
"fakeroot make-kpkg kernel-image" will build a nice .deb that you just
"dpkg -i", and it installs everything for you, even rerunning lilo if
needed.
