How did you build your kernel?  Did you build and install the initial
ramdisk (if necessary) for your new kernel?


The usual (as far as I know) way.

make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install

Then mkinitrd -o <initrd.img> /lib/modules/<new_modules_dir>

After that I copied the System.map and initrd.img to the /boot dir.

Finally I boot using grub.


Talk about going about it the hard way :-)
