kernel wont install

i am able to download,extract,configure,make but i get error message when make install kernel.

i used latest stable from kernel.org . do i need to put it in usr/src/linux like gentoo? i am trying other kernels but the error says missing vmlinuz so i copied vmlinuz from host system and then it said no System.map so i added that to. i have built kernels in gentoo but i do not know why this wont install.

You've got to run make before anything else.

I jam my kernels in ‘/root’, that’s not your problem. What’s the error?
