I'm using Ubuntu and looking in my boot directory the only abi-* files are those of the 3 distro-native kernels (in fact I only noticed they existed when I read your email.) None of my own kernels have them (or had them even before I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 as I recall). And all the kernels (about 20-30) are installed and booting OK. So maybe it's not that. There are a couple of things you could check though: - You're not naming your kernel something odd. You can build the kernel fine of course and do a make modules_install, but when I've misnamed a kernel (I've accidentally used underscores instead of hyphens before) update-grub (which is run automatically on make install on Ubuntu 11.04) complains and refuses to install it. - Your /boot isn't full. Mine maxes out at about 50 kernels with their associated files. Again, the new kernel will not be installed if it's full :-) Assuming it's not either of those I can't immediately think of what the problem is. Sorry - this is probably not especially helpful.
