Custom kernel can't break the device, worst case scenario is that you have to reflash the kernel with another one cause you didn't rebuild the modules.

A bit simplified but:
When you build a kernel, you get a zImage, this contains only the base kernel files, modules will need to be loaded after loading that base image. If the custom kernel is the same name as the stock kernel, it will use the stock modules, if these are incompatible, it will go into a boot loop till you replace either the modules, or reflash the stock kernel.
Same happens if the modules are missing.
As an end user, you don't need to worry about this.

I forgot to ask, the custom kernel works fine with pr1.2 right?

Is it also posible to use a newer kernel version than the 2.6.28?
I would really like to try 2.6.33, with compcache enabled, I don't like the idea of breaking the internal flash with constant writing because of swapping.

it is technically possible, but is hard as hell. and AFAIK isnt packaged for easy use.
natisbad has tried here http://natisbad.org/N900/n900-curren...ap-kernel.html he was partially succesfull
we need more work with the omap1 diff dissection, and we cant survive without disabling the watchdogs, but hey! its the upstream!
its not a simple task and is for brave poeple only, with a spare n900 to brick

I see... it seems it is not an easy task. 
I see it's out of extras-devel which is already a great start.
