I assure you that your pc won't blow up. Grub will be updated.

I would do all of this from run level 3.

Some things that you might want to try (but, again, I'm just guessing)

make menuconfig

In Processor type and features  turn off "generic x86 support" and turn
off high memory support.

In device drivers -> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support -> Other IDE chipset
support -> activate [ ] Generic 4 drives/port support.

After install, add  "ide0=four" without quotes to the line in grub.conf
that starts with "kernel"

who like to tinker. None of this will alter the existing kernel.
