you don't have a snap of that source code available to rebuild a kernel
from back then with?
have you looked into using an earlier version of the sources? you're able
to ask for an older source tree by setting some flag in a cvsup file,
check the man page or the older lists. (i don't know how far back you can
go though)
yes, you have a hard limit, yes you need a new kernel.
