Whe nI was first setting up my install I used genkernel to setup my kernel, mainly becuase I was too scared to mess anything up after such a smooth install.

Now I am needing to go back and change some things in my kernel using menuconfig, such as usb support for my mouse and some toher video card realted things...

Once I enabled all of those and I saved the config and did those few commands afterwards to compile and nstall it, then rebooted.

After all that, it looks like it didn't do anything and i'm still using my old kernel config from genkernel.

Did I miss somethng? Are there issues with running menuconfig after you use genkernel?

I'm a bit lost >_>

First of all, do a
Code:
uname -a

this will show you the exact version and time of compilation of the kernel.
Next, you say yuo did the steps - but did you ?
Code:
make menuconfig
build kernel
mount /boot   <---- most people forget this one!
copy over bzImage / run make install
