    Down to here you were ok.

    Why did you do this part? It should not be necessary. Just install the
    rpm. Just for giggles you might want to try:
    rpm -V kernel-*.rpm
    That should return nothing. If it returns errors do a man rpm to
    see what they mean.

    In addition uname -r will tell you the running kernel. That should
    match the kernel rpm. Unless of course you really wanted to build
    a custom kernel in which case you most likely missed a few steps.

    Works is always a good thing. :-)
