Just make sure those modules are placed in the initial ram disk, and everything will be fine. Note that when you install a new kernel image using aptitude, your old kernel will still be bootable. Just remember to run lilo or update-grub before you reboot. That way, if anything goes wrong with your new kernel, you can boot your old one.
