You don't need the "make dep" or "make clean" steps with 2.6 kernels. Simply:
make mproper make xconfig make bzImage make modules make modules_install make install
That should do it all for you. Double check your /boot/grub/grub.conf file to verify that the new kernel got installed.
How are customer kernels supposed to be uninstalled? Is it as simple as removing the kernel source and modules in /lib/modules/[custom kernel], editing grub.conf to remove the config for the custom kernel, deleting related files in /boot, and changing the initrd and vmlinuz symlinks to point to the "old" FC kernel?
If you build your own custom kernel RPM as described at: http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/
then you can remove the kernel using "rpm -e" just like you would with an "official" kernel, which would correctly handle the kernel, its initrd, grub/lilo, modules etc.
