You didn't copy the kernel into the boot directory ;-)

Yes I did. Just a typo above. Don't worry though I'll just try again with 2.6.10

So... why do you make oldconfig and then menuconfig ?
Sounds rather superfluous.

Oh and - when exactly does it reboot ?
From GRUB, or when loading the kernel?
Or uncompressing, or detecting, or ACPI, or...

Oldconfig then menuconfig because I wanted the same settings as before but also wanted to use udev this time round. I hit enter in GRUB, screen goes black and then computer reboots, no messages, no text.

Well, both oldconfig and menuconfig perform the same initial step: loading the old config file and rearranging it to conform with the new kernel version.

So only one is needed.

Thanks for that info. Currently recompiling kernel and will let you know if the problem still exists.
