Yup, take a break, then start again from scratch::
cd /usr/src/linux (or wherever)
make mrproper (you make want to mv .config to somewhere else first)
make menuconfig (If you're using ide drives, compile ide support into
the kernel rather than as a module - if scsi, have a look at mkinitrd
or equivalent on your system. Also take note of any choices you
aren't sure of and think may be contributing to your problems)
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
mv /lib/modules/<target-kernel-version>/ /lib/modules/<target-kernel-version>.old/
make modules_install
mv /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-<target-kernel-version>
mv /boot/System.map /boot/System.map.old
mv /usr/src/linux/System.map /boot/System.map
adjust /etc/lilo.conf as appropriate
/sbin/lilo
hth,
Alan.
