"make install does install the image doesn't it?"
No. You are still running on your old kernel. I just checked the kernel HOWTO link that I normally post and it is down for revision. You have to copy the new kernel to /boot and you have to create the kernel modules in /lib/modules.
You also have to allow for the new kernel not working. Either set the two kernels up as dual boot or save the old kernel somewhere where you can restore it using a rescue CD (which is what I do, but I always recommend dual booting).
Since I cannot quickly find a kernel HOWTO here is my install plan for kernel 2.4.22-ac4. Keep in mind that when I wrote this out it was notes to myself, not a generalized HOWTO.

How to compile and install a new kernel
Save the entire old boot directory to /boot.old.
The old kernel configuration is kept at /boot/vmlinuz.config
The new kernel source is at /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.4.22-ac4.
The new kernel configuration is kept at
/usr/src/linux-2.4.22-ac4/.config
Change to the Linux source directory:
cd /usr/src/linux
Configure Linux with the command:
make xconfig
Compile bzImage with these commands:
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
Compile modules with this command:
make modules
Install the modules with this command:
make modules_install
Save the entire old boot directory.
Copy the new kernel to /boot with these commands:
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22
cp System.map /boot/System.map-2.4.22
Change to root directory:
cd
If using initrd then create the new initrd with these commands:
depmod -a 2.4.22 -F /boot/System.map
mkinitrd -k "vmlinuz-2.4.22" -i "initrd-2.4.22" -d "/dev/hdc3"
Make any necessary changes to /etc/lilo.config.
Run lilo:
lilo
Shutdown the system.
Boot the new system.
Create boot floppys:
Create a zero delay boot floppy.
Create a ten second multiple choice boot floppy.
Create rescue CD
remove /boot.old, kernel, /lib/modules/2.4.20, /etc/lilo.conf.old,
/etc/lilo.conf.new
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can rely on the rescue CD to pull me out of trouble because I have used LifeBoat to create a highly customized rescue CD. Once I get a new kernel working I then create another rescue CD for that particular kernel. You can find LifeBoat here.
