I take it this is a 2.6 series kernel?
if so you then need to install it and the modules.

This is what "I" do (this may or may not work for you and in fact may destroy 
your system) (Disclaimer)!!

deleate the symlink /sur/src/linux
then ln -s /usr/src/linux-<your new version>
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
(do the config stuff you want)
make
make modules_install
cp /arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-<your new kernel eg 2.6.6win4lin>
cp System.map /boot/System.map
then edit /boot/grub/grub.conf to add the new kernel


I hope this helps, and as I said this is what I do, may or may not be right 
way to do it. I know alot of people don't like the symlink in teh /usr/src 
directory and compiling as root etc..., but it's never been a problem for me.
