[mythtv-users] Recompiling existing kernel to change the "HZ" setting? Ubuntu Edgy.

[William Munson]

I am trying to change the HZ value on my existing kernel to allow for 
smooth video panning. AFAIK the kernel is stock, ie. downloaded directly 
from the repo. Can I simply install the kernel source and some other as 
of yet unidentified packages to allow me to do a menuconfig and compile 
on top of the existing kernel? I am trying to avoid recompiling all the 
other modules I had to manually compile when setting up the system. Or 
is it a forgone conclusion that I will have to recompile all that junk 
again with the changed kernel even though the version has not changed? A 
guide would be helpful....

TIA,
Bill
