I can't answer that question - much may depend on what you've already done thus
far.

I would suggest that you copy the .config file in your source directory to
somewhere else, then make mrproper (clean house so to speak) and then copy your
.config file back in to your source tree and then make dep, make clean, make
bzImage, make modules, make modules_install (and finally make install/bzlilo)
