Did you also install the modules? (make modules_install)
Did you update the initrd?

Why not use 'genkernel'? The default-config should work in your case,
but you might look at the config anyway (/etc/genkernel.conf), e.g. at
the BOOTLOADER variable. Then 'cd' to your kernel-sources-dir and run
'genkernel --kerneldir=. all'.

HTH,
