It doesn't sound, intuitively, `make modules_install' will never ever end up installing the kernel image or the System.map or any other architecture-specific boot images. It'll install the modules, nothing more.

Installing the kernel image is quite architecture specific; most architectures use $(INSTALL_PATH), so this could be something like /path/to/target_system/boot . Though they may also re-run lilo or something like that, so it's possibly not what you actually want to use.
