I built kernel 3.11.3 following the instructions here. There were no issues in the build. The steps I followed automatically made entries in grub and copied the image to /boot too.
At boot time, when I choose the new kernel, booting gets stuck with the following message
[ 1.563345] MODSIGN: Problem loading in-kernel X.509 certificate (-129) [1.734622] ata3: softreset failed (device not ready) [1.735638[ ata1: softreset failed (device not ready) But I get the same message when booting with my original kernel (kernel-3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64) and it immediately disappears and boots normally.
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg looks like this
