The thing with upgrading the kernel with RPMs is that it may cause some
dependency issues concerning other files that Linux uses such as boot
scripts
or other files that interact with the kernel.  Check RedHat's website
and do a search about kernel upgrading or check out the Errata section.
They
are pretty good with putting stuff up that is relevant to the new rpms
in their ftp sites.
