I think that the procedure is different on 2.6 than on 2.4.
On my Gentoo boxes I do:-

Updating the Kernel (works for me)
cd /usr/src
cp linux/.config /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r10  (- to location of new 
kernel)
cd
ls -l /usr/src/linux
rm /usr/src/linux && ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r10/ /usr/src/linux (- 
linux-2.6.1-rc1 represents the name of the new kernel)
ls -l /usr/src/linux (- to check the symlink)
cd /usr/src/linux
make oldconfig
make menuconfig (only if manual changes are wanted or needed)
make && make modules_install
mount /boot/
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-2.6.1 (- or whatever name you give it)
