make-kpg kernel_image kernel_headers will make debs in the folder above 
the source tree when done and you will need to go install those manually 
(sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.37-rc6-customwhatever.deb) and then you 
should be set.

I have noticed that on Ubuntu 10.10 there is no menu.lst for grub and I 
have no idea how to update it. Thankfully, using dpkg to install the 
kernel updates grub for you. I have been having an issue with grub not 
displaying the menu on i386 and booting the first entry, but on x86_64 
it's displaying a list. Hope that helps
