No, because you only used RPM to expand the source, then you built a
local kernel from that.  If you actually build the kernel with RPM as
suggested on the custom kernel wiki page, it will do the proper thing.

Also, 3.3.4 is very old even on F17.  We're already at 3.5.4 and moving
to 3.6 fairly soon.  You should likely update.
