Recompiling the kernel is not hard. Just don't remove the kernel you are currently using in case the new doesn't work. Edit /etc/lilo.conf to boot more than one image and then you can select which kernel to boot when you restart the machine. Rebuilding the kernel may not really be on topic for this list so feel free to email me directly about recompilation questions.
