Which problem actually? the "make install not really work"?

If that's your point, here's my understanding (since I almost never
use it anyway):
make install does things almost entirely automatic, like copying
bzImage and so on. However, it might not really suite your distro
condition and requirement.

Thus, the only way to make sure it works like it means to be, is by
doing everything by your own. Not so difficult actually.
