The RPM produced in this way doesn't appear to have any scriptlets to
make the initramfs image or update /etc/grub.conf. If you want such an
RPM, you'll need to build it with rpmbuild and by adjusting the Fedora
kernel.spec file (see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/CustomKernel ).
Try building the kernel on the target machine using
make && make modules_install install
(or moving the built tree to the target and running the latter). This
always things up OK for me, anyway.
(Actually, I normally obtain the kernel .src.rpm from Koji, rpmbuild -bp
it to create a prepped, Fedora-patched source tree, copy that, apply
further patches and build from there.)

Could be missing DRI modules? Assuming that the kernel image and modules
are in place, try re-creating it with dracut (works like mkinitrd, see
its manpage for more).
