strange strange problem

I have encountered a problem that everyone I have talked to so far has
never heard of. I recently just installed a second NIC card, which caused a
bunch of very weird things to happen to my machine, one of them being that
it began to complain about not being able to load some modules when I
booted. Since I had no idea what better to do, I figured it was worth a
shot to recompile my kernel. I did nothing special, just used the defaults
from my last compile. When I rebooted, I got the error message "invalid
compression format." and it won't boot. I've tried again and again with the
same results. The kernel is 2.0.36, and I compiled it with the standard
procedure:
make config
make dep
make clean
make zImage
make modules
make modules_install
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot
I'm really clueless here, any advise at all will be greatly appreciated.
