I've written a Mini-HOWTO on compiling the kernel:
http://www.eclectic-cheval.net/linux/kr-mhowto.txt
I've posted it here for two reasons:
1) In case it will help, and
2) To get suggestions from those who know more than I do.
It's licensed under the FDL, so hack away.
Daniel.

I did try make menuconfig, but had the same result.

Well, I took the path of least resistance and compiled a static
kernel. Seems to work ok :)
However, I'm still wondering why I'm having trouble building a modular
kernel. mkinitrd cannot find the ncr583cxx module, but it doe exist in the
appropriate folder. Any thoughts?

Generally you do the following to build your kernel. (As defined in README)

make bzImage

Check out man mkinitrd. seems like I have always just given it the
kernel version and the imgfile name needed.
I guess the real question is do you really need an initrd? Unless you
need something like scsi drivers that you compiled as modules that need
to be availible before the file systems
Before I got this e-mail i just removed the initrd line and rebooted.
now i get:

That'll kinda depend.
