Could you have inadvertently made more of a change to grub.conf than
that? Grub is notoriously fragile when it comes to its config file?

Why did you edit it in the first place? As you used make install,you will
have symlinks from vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old to the new and previous
kernels. Use these in GRUB and there's no need to edit anything.
