I have always had problems compiling kernel if I don't do first a: make mrproper but it always is at compile time (making/installing modules). If you are going to try this, copy your .config into ANTOTHER directory, do the 'make mrproper' and copy it back, then do a: make oldconfig first just in case config file was for a previous version/release.
Another point is changing the extraversion in the makefile AFTER a 'make xconfig/menuconfig" and BEFORE starting with the rest (make dep ...). Another point is (what Adrian said) "...If I install a system update I get a new kernel (from the update) and I still can boot all the other pre-existing ones..." I understand this is from rpmdrake or similar, because if you do it by hand (get the rpm and upgrade it) you might be spoiling existing kernels as kernel shouldn't be upgraded (rpm -U) but installed (rpm -i) as the second case will not overwrite the old one. Anyway, what Todd said sounds to me is probably the right direction.
