I recompiled kernel linux-2.4.20 on my system. When I rebooted I recieved the message "No setup signature found". What does this mean and how can I fix it?

I used the following steps to compile the kernel;

1. Change to the directory /usr/src

2. Downloaded the kernel into the /usr/src directory.

3. mkdir linux-2.4.20

4. ln -s linux-2.4.20 linux

5. tar -xzvf linux-2.4.20

6. cd /usr/src/linux

7. make menuconfig

8. Here I configure the kernel to my hearts content.

9. make dep ; make clean; make zImage ; make modules

10. cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20

11. cp /usr/src/linux/system.map /boot/system.map-2.4.20

12. make modules_install

13. vi /etc/lilo.conf

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.20
label=linux-2.4.20
root=/dev/hda2
read-only

14. ./lilo

15. shutdown -r now

16. This is the message I recieve " No setup signature found ".


What does that mean and how can I fix it.
