Compiling the Kernel

Okay... I received my alpha preinstalled with RedHat 3.0.3 on it. I was
wondering a few things.

1) Why won't the default disk images (kernels) boot under MILO?

2) none of my kernels the I compile myself will work. The gzipped
vmlinux is also 200K bigger than the one that came shipped with my
machine... What could I be doing wrong?
Is this the correct procedure for making the kernel (seeing as there's no
Alpha-kernel HOWTO):

make config (menuconfig); make dep; make clean; make vmlinux; make
modules; make modules_install

Or am I missing something?
Thanks...
