Hi Jerome: I think it is probably easiest to grab the RPM - you can find the link to the RPMs here:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6229201&forum_id=8921 As long as the new SystemImager kernel has your module, I think it will work. The SystemConfigurator issue should hopefully not be a problem for you.
