I copied my kernels manually to start with. Then I discovered "make 
install". (and "make modules_install"). Much simpler.

And you don't need to muck about with grub.cfg by hand either. I think 
I'm going to switch to grub-mkconfig, because you can always output it 
to a new file to sanity-check before you send it live (and back up the 
old one, so you can always recover ...).

Cheers,
