Re: installing kernel fails, make is ok
You might first try making a generic kernel with no customization and see if that works. If it does, you might be accidentally leaving out support for something vital like disk drives or something else equally vital causing the kernel to not get along far enough to produce error messages. If the generic configuration produces a working kernel, then start pulling things off and re-making it until you kill it. You will then know what actually caused the problem. If it doesn't tell you anything at all, it must be rather early in the boot process because a kernel can usually spit out an error or to to the screen before it dies. If you get a working kernel that is not quite what you wanted, you can at least save the dmesg output and study it to see what devices are in your computer and make sure that your custom configuration includes all of them.
