Please help the Linux newbie

I have installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 on a computer at home but I have some problems with the Kernal I compiled.

Could you tell me if this is completly wrong:
startx
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage

When I try to boot the new Kernel I only get to the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux" message then nothing happends. I tried to press CTRL+C and got the message:

INIT: entering runlevel: 3
/etc/rc.d/rc: /var/run/runlevel.dir: Read-only file system
Updating /etc/fstab

then nothing more happend. Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Sounds like you do not have X setup correctly. Try to rerun XF86Setup and see if you get a working X server.

X works fine, the problem is that I can't boot the new Kernel.

Did you make a backup of your previous kernel? You could have altered something that made it unbootable.
