This is one reason I wish K12LTSP was done on debian. :) Kernel recompile on
debian is a walk in the park. That aside...
I think you have to make sure during that process that the modules folder gets
created. I think you'll have to "make modules" or some such thing. I've
never done a kernel in redhat... sorry...
Generally there should be a folder in /lib/modules/xxxxx where xxxxx is the
build revision of your kernel. Then upon reboot, you should run "depmod -a"
to set things to using the new modules. (to be honest, I'm not exactly sure
what depmod -a does, but it always makes things work after a kernel switch)
Make sure when you edit grub that you make an ADDITIONAL entry, don't just
delete what's there, or you could really hose stuff.
After I typed that, I'd suggest looking on redhat.com or somewhere for kernel
installing tips. I'm worried about your afternoon. :)
