I dunno, I think the only reason I post these things here is
to embarrass myself by finding the answer after I hit 'Send'.

So, in case anyone else was wondering, you have to do  a 'make all'
in order to get a new kernel compiled - 'make' all by itself
doesn't seem to cut it.  And the kernel appears in the machinename
directory just like you'd expect.

Sigh.
