Assuming after following that guide - there shouldn't be a problem.
It should recompile your existing kernel so you won't need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst to set it up to boot a different kernel. It may even add the new kernel automatically to the /boot/grub/menu.lst as the default option - which if it does, you won't need to do anything else.
However if it doesn't overwrite your existing kernel or add the new kernel to the menu.lst, you *may* need to:
or
and add the new kernel into the file there ABOVE the other ones currently residing there - just using the exact same format but pointing to the new kernel name.
For example, my ubuntu box (based on debian) menu.lst contains:
If needed, you may need to add something like this in the follow format (replace title and paths):
