The kernel-userspace divide is sufficiently well defined that you should 
be able to just install the latest kernel. You can do this in parallel 
with your existing kernel. Either:

   - compile and install from source (1)
     See: http://www.richardneill.org/a22p-mdk11-0.php#kernel2.6.16
     if you've never done it before.

   - extract from an RPM intended for a later (Mandrake) system

   - Find a running system with the kernel you want, and copy
     over  /boot/vmlinuz-XXX, /boot/initrd-xxx and /lib/modules-XXX,
     then modify lilo/grub.
     [You may need to run mkinitrd instead of copying it.]
     (3)

I did this with a knoppix kernel to get wifi support on Mandrake 9.1 
once, and everything worked pretty well.

(1)is "the right way" to do it; (3) is the easy way and will usually work.

Best wishes,

Richard
