1)If you changed the modules list : did you do make modules_install
2) Did you run lilo after copying bzImage over ?
3) It is very possible if you added a mod to the kernel
I have also learnt that the compilation process can
produce slightly different sizes of binaries (only slightly) depending on the
state of the box and memory available etc any thoughts on this people ?

you may have to boot with rescue and run lilo again.

Thanks
