Build your own kernel.  It's not very hard to do.
Go to kernel.org
download a kernel tar.bz2 
bunzip2
tar xf

cd 2.*

read the README (or INSTALL  I forget file's name)

make mrproper
make xconfig
(before you start it's nice to have a hardware list that you can
refer to)

make bzImage

when it's done it will tell you where the bzImage is
cp bzImage to /boot/linux.2.6.mynew.1

emacs /boot/grub/grub.conf

extra steps if you don't use initrd
you might have to change some things regarding udev
google.com->inurl:redhat.com udev

Good luck
Richard
