Firstly, there is no such thing as "linux 7.0" there is however Redhat 7.0.
which judgeing by the "2.2.16-22" is what you have.

Ho wait, after tar you should have done;
cd linux
make mrproper
make config
make dep bzImage
Then if you have choosen any protocol or driver as a "module" you must also do;
make modules modules_install
Then edit /etc/lilo.conf and add a new entry for the new kernel then issue;
/sbin/lilo -t
To test lilo and see if there is any mistakes anywhere, then;
/sbin/lilo to "install" the new kernel.
I think it is a better idea if you read the Kernel-HOWTO located somewhere in
/usr/doc
and a good thing to read when upgrading a kernel is
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.txt
You can also take a look at http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ax25.htm
That page has other links and to my knowlage will help you as well.

It is NOT installed.
'uname -a' is a good way to see the running kernel version, or,
'cat /proc/cmdline'
That will tell you which kernel version is running and on which device your
root filesystem is.
