Help Troubleshooting Kernel Panic

I've just compiled/installed kernel 2.0.35 (full source).

I think I screwed up.
Here is the list of step I took

(gcc --version 2.7.2)

cd /usr/src
gzip -cd linux-2.0.35.tar.gz | tar xfv

-- This was probably my first mistake I should have backed
-- up my old source directory /usr/src/linux-2.0.0

make mrproper
make menuconfig
make dep; make clean -- a bit redundant
make zlilo -- follows is the output

if [ -f /vmlinuz ]; then mv /vmlinuz /vmlinuz.old; fi
if [ -f /System.map ]; then mv /System.map /System.old; fi
cat zImage > /vmlinuz
cp /usr/src/linux-2.0.0/System.map /
if [ -x /sbin/lilo ]; then /sbin/lilo; else /etc/lilo/install; fi
Added Linux *
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.0/arch/i386/boot'

Also,
ls /lib/modules
2.0.0/ 2.0.35/

The first problem is that after reboot
my box displays Linux thegate 2.0.0 #5 Aug 11 09:32:55 EST 1998

The biggest problem is that after about 2 seconds I get a
Kernel Panic: skput:over:01013934:60 In Swapper Task - not synching

How do I troubleshoot this??

TIA,
Tony
