Compiling kernel problem

Hi, Im a linux newbie :). Im trying to compile my own kernel, so I go to
//usr/src and try to compile the last version I have. I do:

make xconfig (configure it)
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make install

On "make install" I got the next message:

No module sata_sil found for kernel 2.4.23, aborting.
mkinitrd failed
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Saliendo directorio `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I had try to compile other kernel version (also sources from Fedora),
and always the same error. Any help?

Thanks!
