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 :-)
