Mine is like this:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4547936 Aug 22 03:53 /boot/bzImage-3.0.3-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4548640 Sep  1 07:19 /boot/bzImage-3.0.4-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5162752 Oct 12 21:49 /boot/bzImage-3.0.4-2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5167840 Oct 13 00:05 /boot/bzImage-3.0.6-1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5167776 Oct 19 02:14 /boot/bzImage-3.0.7-1


The last number is how many times it took to get a stable one.  
Sometimes it is one, sometimes two.  I would also like to see how make 
install does it nowadays.  Maybe worth another try.

Oh, I name the config files the same as the kernel too.  Am I OCD?  o_O
