Did you check the requirements and Changes file for kernel 2.6? Please do so before upgrading kernels. Compiling from src is a saner way of upgrading rather than rpm - ing a kernel. After you get the kernel src, please read /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes and to check if you have correct versions of required software, run ver_linux from the "scripts" dir under the kernel src tree.
Maybe you have loadable module support and are missing module-init-tools?
