The symlink is pointing to 2.2.17. I want 2.2.17 to boot with the new logo
(mainly 'cause I can't fire up my PCMCIA Nic under 2.4.2). I've compiled
the new kernel, added an entry in /ect/lilo.conf for it, and rerun lilo,
but when I boot with it I get text. I placed it in /boot and it's called
bzImage3 (cause there's 2 other kernels that I've compiled there).

/usr/src/linux is usually a symlink to the current kernel source. In
your case, when you installed 2.4.2, it probably changed the symlink
from linux-2.2.17 to linux-2.4.2. Do an ls -l and see if it is actually
a symlink or not.
To answer your question, I pose another question. Which kernel do you
want to boot with this new DrakLogo? If it's 2.2.17, then you want the
symlink to point to linux-2.2.17. If the other, then linux-2.4.2.
If your changes affect anything that's loaded as a module, you will need
to make modules modules_install. If not, then you won't.
