Oh, ok. Redhat problem. Ya, the first thing I do when I install a new system is to uninstall the redhat kernel. You've got to remove the kernel sources, and headers, but leave the entry in the rpm database. Then install the latest kernel - after checking reviews of course.
Then, run up2date to upgrade everything.
Why leave the entry in the rpm db? I assume you are downloading the kernel as a tarball. In that case, would not the rpm entry break things w.r.t. versions etc? Is it because the up2date command will refresh the rpm db? I'm not very familiar with rpm databases, as you can make out.
Rgds,
Krishnan
