recently compiled kernel

i recently compiled a new kernel. well, everything went great, but oops, forgot tulip. so i figured, no big deal, just recompile. Well, i recompiled the same source again and when i rebooted it couldn't find vmlinuz. so basically, i can't even get to the system. i booted with damn small and seen that everything looks like it is where it belongs, but the system won't start. any ideas, other than reinstalling would be great.

Did you remember to copy the new kernel from /usr/src/linux/arch/*yourarch*/boot to /boot? If so, did you remember to re-run lilo (assuming you are using lilo)?

yes, basically i wrote a script and named it /bin/compkern

cd /usr/src/linux
mv -f .config ..
make mrproper
mv -f ../.config .
make menuconfig
make clean bzImage modules modules_install
cd /boot
mv -f vmlinuz vmlinuz.old
mv -f System.map System.map.old
cd /usr/src/linux
cp -f arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz
cp -f System.map /boot
cd /boot
ls -chlrt
date
cd /

so it worked the first time, other than tulip. but when i ran the script a second time is when i lost everything

I would do :
...
make
make modules_install
