Kernel Compiling Errors

[N0thing]

Im running Debian Sid 3.1, and am trying to build a custom kernel with 2.6.10. Anyhow my issue is configuring it at the end. meaning it only creates a vmlinuz-2.6.10, and not initrd.img The kernel configuration is one ive used many times before so i know it works. Im just not sure about how to go about the initrd. Im going to be producing two kernels a light performance one and a full featured one, for office. These are the commands i use for making a kernel.
make menuconfig/make xconfig
make
make modules_install
make install

this is what i get for make install
[[[[[[[ CHK include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.
CHK include/linux/compile.h
CHK usr/initramfs_list
Kernel: arch/i386/boot/bzImage is ready
sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.10/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.10 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map ""
In order to use the new kernel image you have just installed, you
will need to reboot the machine. First, however, you will need to
either make a bootable floppy diskette, re-run LILO, or have GRUB
installed.

Checking for ELILO...No

GRUB is installed. To automatically switch to new kernels, point your
default entry in menu.lst to /boot/arch/i386/boot/bzImage-2.6.10}]]]]]]]]]]

So did i goof this time around or do i need to configure grub some special way.
ops:

Thanks in Advance for the response

You could always skip the make install part and just cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 && cp System.map /boot/System.map yourself, and edit grub.conf.

ive never messed with grub before how would i edit exactly like example of the lines needed to be inserted

[postlogic]

Just copy the old entry and change the bootimage. And label.

Like so:

title Whatevertexthere
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.10 ro root=/dev/hdaX
initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img

/dev/hdaX needs to be changed to your root. (note: not /root)
