Just plug in the new disk, boot the system, fdisk, create filesystems, copy data / restore data, and that's it.
You only need to compile a kernel if you are plugging in some hardware that is not supported by your running kernel. Given that you run a standard RedHat kernel, it should have support for just about everything (and a kitchen sink).
You may find sfdisk useful for creating the partition tables (man sfdisk), or you can create them "manually" using fdisk.
