If /usr/src/linux is a symbolic link to usr/src/kernel-source.x.yy.zz and
/usr/include/foo is a symbolic link to /usr/src/linux/include/foo you
will not need to change anything in /usr/include - it will follow the
links automatically.

Leave your old kernel on the disk and make a pointer to it in /etc/lilo.conf:
boot=/dev/hda3
default=Linux
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
# Current kernel
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
append="mem=32M"
# Previous working kernel
image=/vmlinuz.old
root=/dev/hda3
label=old
read-only
append="mem=32M
then you can reboot your old version without resorting to a rescue disk by
interrupting the lilo boot sequence with the control key before the 20
second delay (delay=20) expires and entering 'old' as the kernel to boot.
