It's usually a good idea to keep the old kernel, and have a backup boot
selection ("man lilo" or "man grub"), so that if the new kernel is
"busted" you can still boot the old kernel and make repairs. That is less
important nowadays, since there are several ways to boot rescue CDs, but
it is still rather convenient to use that feature.
