You don't use `make dep` w/ the 2.6 kernel.  They re-designed the build
process for the 2.6 kernel.  All you really need is:

make <configuration type>
make && make modules_install

Then either manually install the kernel, or if you use lilo as your
bootloader you can run `make install`.

`make` by it self is synonymous to `make bzImage vmlinux modules`. 
Read /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/README for further info.
