I really doubt that will work.  You'll almost definitely get unresolved
symbols when you insmod.  You'll need to reboot with the new kernel
first.

It's a fairly straightforward patch.  Just add the patch (0.2.7 for
2.0.30, 0.2.8 for 2.0.32, included in 2.1.6x+), do your normal
config but also enable nls support and the appropriate code pages,
enable Joliet extensions if that's an option (it's not on 2.0.x and is
on 2.1.x, as I recall), reboot, and you should be set.
