if you just get the grub screen and no movement
likely tell's me you need to do and update-grub
or if using lilo /sbin/lilo which updates the kernel's
etc..

as for the building of the kernel
you should
make menuconfig
make
make modules(although you probably don't because its already done)
make modules_install
make install(if using lilo, the update automatically happens)
grub you need to update-grub

hope this helps
