I had this problem for a while myself, I just wanted to compile things
into my kernel, and not have to many modules.

try make xconfig; make clean; make dep; make modules; make
modules_install; make bzImage

The bzImage will compress the kernel and I think it copies it to /vmlinuz 

Here is a good link for a kernel compile HOWTO from zdnet.
