compiling kernel

I am trying to compile the 2.4.20 kernel to include video4linux support and I 
am having a problem.  I run in the following order

make menuconfig
---and set the option for v4l

make dep

make clean

make bzImage

make modules

make modules_install


at the end of the procedure I have a bzImage file and i have a 2.4.20 
directory off of /lib/modules but it is almost empty.  I noticed that while 
running 'make modules' 
it was constantly reporting 'nothing to do for directory  xxx'  I'm not shure 
I ever saw it compile anything.  Thanks for any help.  BB
