There was no problem booting into the newly installed kernel.

I tested the tablet in Krita 2.4, MyPaint 1.0, and GIMP 2.8. I ran into two
problems. None of the frame buttons worked. At all. Also, there was no
pressure sensivity. The good thing is that the tablet was recognized as a
pointer, that is, the tip of the pen worked as a left click, and the
buttons in it as a right click, and so. Oddly, launching an application
with the touchpad (I'm on a laptop) made the software to not show any
output when using the tablet. On the contrary, if I launched, say, Krita,
using the pen, drawing stuff works (this didn't happen in GIMP).
There was something weird, and correct me if I'm wrong, but, shouldn't the
tablet be detected as "one" pointer? I'm saying this because I tried to
test input devices in MyPaint, and there were five devices listed as
"Genius EasyPen M506". After noticing this, I ran 'xinput list', and this
is the output for the pointer part:

anton@tiefblau ~ $ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer
(3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                id=17   [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ Genius EasyPen M506                       id=10   [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ Genius EasyPen M506                       id=11   [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ Genius EasyPen M506                       id=12   [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ Genius EasyPen M506                       id=13   [slave  pointer
(2)]
⎜   ↳ Genius EasyPen M506                       id=14   [slave  pointer
(2)]

Is this normal? Did I do something wrong?
