I am thinking to compile the modified kernel 3.16-rcx and install it like standard procedure (make, make modules, make modules_install, make install) and boot the ubuntu in runlevl=3, to avoid GUI as it may not work with latest vanilla kernel and test kernel with existing root filesystem. Is it the right approach or need to create separate boot partition and root filesystem? If not please let me know the right way to test kernel.
