Help please with problem in installing new kernel.
Properly, after cycle of commands make bzImage modules modules_install install have a place this warning:

modprobe: Module ide_pci_generic not found.

And take a look at this picture...
sata_nv, pata_amd, etc already compiled as part of kernel (not module, if my speaking is right)... why kernel can not find they?

Hi I am not an expert any my reply may not solve your problem.
Since you posted so I would like to suggest also post the output of
/var/log/message if you are able to boot the system.If not then you can use a live CD to get access to it.Or if windows is there you can use some programs
to access the said file.I know one such program http://lifehacker.com/334535/access-...h-linux-reader
If some expert who may be reading it here comes across your post they may be in a position to suggest some thing.
If you find the out put of /var/log/messages to lengthy to fit in here you can post it on a website http://pastebin.com and give a link in this thread.
The above line tell you that your built kernel miss some key components. You need go back your cycle, turning on that module, ide_pci_generic and then building kernel and loadable module.
/var/log/message if you are able to boot the system.
okey, but I can not see something about new kernel in this file...
I hope that I'll solve next time error with ide_pci_generic. Largely, I can't understand other things: look at photo in 1st post. I know, modules sata_nv, pata_amd and other are already compiled, but why kernel can not find them?
