You don't need to do this last step. 'make linux-menuconfig' will edit
the output/build/linux-3.2.6/.config file, and it will be use at the
next invocation of make.

However, you will want to save your .config file somewhere else in
order to not lose it when you'll do a make clean.

Build your kernel with CONFIG_EARLYPRINTK and pass the "earlyprintk"
argument on the kernel command line. It will give some more details on
what's happening.
