Not really.
1/ Get the source rpm from the RPMS repository, not the src.rpm from SRPMS,

3/ Before make *config run make mrproper. but this might have been done
automatically.
   If you want to use the .config included, copy it temporarily elsewhere,

6/ There is no 6. 
    Make install should have made an initrd image and updated your bootloader
(lilo, grub).
