I generally try to keep up with the nerwer kernels.  I had some minor problems
with 1.3.8x, but that has all been worked out and the .9x kernels are working
great.

I also do excatly that.  I keep an older kernel around just incase the new one
is screwed up and I don't detect it until too late.  All you do is make the new
kernel and copy it to /vm.<whatever_you_want>, then edit lilo.conf to match.
 If you want more details on this, let me know.
