REALLY can't help you without any info attached. As from your description it just have to work and you did all fine. anyway i usually just do installs to DESTDIR=/something, then tar.gz it up, and untar whenever i need (but separately tar.gz for /boot/kernel subdir) use --unlink option when untarring on live system.
