Yes, please compile your kernel first. :-)
I've just verified, the Makefile is not fool-proof, in that the
`install' pseudo-target doesn't depend on `kernel'. Hence, if your
kernel build failed, but you ignore the error messages from the build
process, you can still try to install the unbuilt kernel. :-]
While this is a bug in the Makefile, you should better investigate why
the kernel build process fell over.
