There is a file called README in the top level of the kernel sources.

% grep make README

always shows the same sequence for building a kernel

make mrproper or make oldconfig
make (choose configurator)
make
sudo make modules_install install

Examination of the makefile should show that there is not a target 
called bzImage.

Good Luck!
