The build procedure for Linux 2.6 has changed rather significantly.  I 
use***:

make mrproper 2>&1 | tee mkmrlog &&
make menuconfig
make 2>&1 | tee mklog &&
make modules_install 2>&1 | tee mkmodlog
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.8.1
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.6.8.1
ln -sf System.map-2.6.8.1 /boot/System.map

Note that there's no make dep (done automatically) and no make 
bzImage--all 2.6 kernels use bzip2 compression.  Also, the "make 
mrproper" is (still) very important, but note that it *will* remove your 
".config" file--so make sure you keep a backup copy elsewhere if you 
want to reuse the configuration information.
