I do

1. make oldconfig
2. make coffee
3. make xconfig
    edit edit edit
4. make all
5. make install modules_install
6. reboot
7. make coffee

Then repeat steps 3-7 until I finally have all the bit's I'm supposed to 
have to enabled in the first place and every last bit of functionality I 
need...

i.e. cifs, ntfs etc

Regarding FC1/2
has anyone on list compiled a kernel from kernel.org and got the 
root=LABEL=/ syntax in grub.conf to work I have traditionally had to 
replace it with root=/dev/hda2
