My first question would be why you would want to maintain several versions
of the same kernel on the same machine... I would make sure I've got the
latest version of the stable kernel sources, and use that as my new
kernel, configured the way it needs to be.  I generally rely on the
default kernel my distro shipped as the backup kernel, or some other
earlier version of the kernel that I've compiled since then.
