As you are of the experimental type, and ignore advice to stay on the
safe side,and seem to know things better, why don't just upgrade the
kernel?
And if it doesn't work,yes, why don't you just reinstall where relink

Linux is an O/S developed and maintained by and run by hackers, so if
you just want to hack your way out, instead of reading *documented*
and proven procedures, why not just go ahead?
