Basically, you just build from source and install over your existing copy
(after making a backup copy, of course).

The problem here is that an upgrade from Squid 2.4 to Squid 2.5 is more
complicated than an upgrade from one Squid 2.5 release to the other, due to
changes in configuration file parameters.

I would recommend installing Squid 2.5 to a separate folder from your Squid
2.4 install, and run it on a separate port to test until you get it working
how you want. Then change the port in squid.conf, shutdown the 2.4
instance, and turn on the 2.5 instance.

No, that kernel will work fine with Squid 2.5.
