The standard way is up2date -p to update your profile.  However, if you
still have the old kernel rpm on your system, up2date will still find
it.

The typical way to do this is to install the source rpm on your system,
update the spec file to reflect your custom version, and then replace
the sources.  Then rebuild the source rpm and install the binary rpm.
I've done that with other packages but never a kernel.
