You did not look what was printed on your screen.

Wrong!  Both are exactly the same.  Try both on Intel and Alpha
'make config ; make dep ; make clean ; make boot modules ; make modules_install'

(on Intel 'make zImage' is also an alias to 'make boot').

Compressed boot images are located in different directories.  That is
about it.  And 'make zlilo' does not make any sense on Alpha.

Hugo van der Kooij wrote a posted a precise guide to patchind and
compiling alpha kernel. Check this list archives.
