Kernel not showing in grub2

[scott]

I compiled a 3.0.0-rc7 kernel. Everything went smoothly except it 
doesn't show in the grub menu even after doing sudo update-grub. I see 
the kernel in /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Everything appears right with the 
UUID's and all. I noticed in /boot it doesn't list the abi-3.0-rc7. 
System-map initrd-img, vmlinux and config are all there.

Would the missing abi- keep grub from recognizing it or am I barking up 
the wrong tree. If it is, how do I go about creating the abi short of 
recompiling.

Thanks, Scott
