The command sequence recommended in the Red Hat 8.0 Customization Guide
(Appenix A - Building a Custom Kernel) is:
make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
You didn't do the "make clean" step, and you did the "make install" before
the "make modules" and "make modules_install".
"make install" creates an initrd image and updates the grub.conf file, and
it needs the results of "make modules_install" to do this properly.
This may not matter since you've built most things statically into your
kernel, but it's worth a try.
