Make sure that your linux-newest-version.tgz is in the /usr/src directory

cd /usr/src
rm linux
mkdir linux-newest-version
ln -s linux-newest-version linux
tar -zxvf linux-newest-version.tgz
cd linux
make mrproper
make config
make dep;make clean; make zImage
cd /
mv vmlinuz vmlinuz.old
cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/zImage ./vmlinuz
lilo

Your done.  This is how I recompile my new kernels.  I have the Slackware
installation (3.3).  If your new kernel is screwed, you still have the
vmlinuz.old
as the original.  I suggest that you include it as a possible option in
lilo so that
you can reboot your old Kernel in a pinch.

Good Luck

Did you include the proper mouse and zip drive support in xconfig?
If you included them as modules:
make modules
make modules_install
