Hmm, i think section 6 explains how to rebuild a kernel. Where
exactly do you have problems? (I don't have the FAQ text handy.)
Basically, you need the kernel sources, you need to setup your
own config file (e.g. by deriving it from GENERIC), to compile
a kernel, and finally to install it and reboot.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
