Goto http://www.kernel.org/ and get the latest stable kernel (currently 2.4.23). put it in /usr/src and do "tar xvzf linux-2.4.23" then link it to /usr/src/linux like this "ln -s linux-2.4.23 linux" then go into the linux directory and do a make menuconfig (or xconfig) and configure the kernel. Next run "make dep clean bzImage modules modules_install" then copy arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23 and setup the bootloader (normally either lilo or grub). For lilo add the lines: image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.23 label = NewKernel root=/dev/whatever device / is then run lilo and reboot Warning: make sure you still have the old kernel in the bootloader so that if the new kernel does not work you can go back to the old one. I cant help you if your using grub since I have no experience with it.
