But the kernel firmware is not limited to just the version.
You must have matching builds of all modules.
Some of those are in the initramfs (u-image) and some are in the usual /lib/modules/<version>/* (rootfs.img) file system path.
And when you are re-building the PW kernel&modules for the touch kernel&modules hardware (including e-ink differences) don't forget that you must get everything ABSOLUTELY correct.
(If the newly built kernel hangs, while booting the kindle ...)
If you must insist on doing this -
You really should set-up the touch hardware to load the new, test u-image&rootfs.img combination over the network rather than committing to the flash drive hardware.
(Yes, the 5.x series hardware support includes loading over the network.)
