Well .. you could try and tell us exactly what you did to install the new kernel. Also, as a pointer, try proper English .. people get really discouraged to keep reading what you wrote if it's full of "yz'" "???" (one is enough.. don't sound desperate..) "plz", "helppp", "thx".

Also, did you remember to configure your boot loader to boot the new kernel ?
