You dont need to replace your old kernel files you can simply copy them over to /boot under a different name so use: My previous kernel has: /boot/kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r10 /boot/initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r10 /boot/System.map-2.6.11-gentoo-r10 or what ever your new kernel is. Than just add a new option in your grub.conf much like the old one for you newly compiled kernel. This probably the best thing to do especially if your new kernel has errors when loading, you can easily revert back to the old one and fix the problem.
