According to rpm, it wasn't, so I did an install with the --justdb 
option, which fixed that right up.  Note that I don't frankly care if 
the original kernel is available for booting or not, I've currently 
about 25 choices setup in grub.conf.  I have been known to build 3 
kernels a day just for fun & testing.

[root@coyote init.d]# uname -r
2.6.12-RT-V0.7.51-38

Which I think you have to admit is in danger of leaving blood on the 
floor.  It does have some IRQ handling problems though.

Never say never my friend.  I've just come off a weeks worth of trying 
to install FC4 on another machine & gave up after about 10 cycles.  
Those cd's went out with the trash this morning.  3 of the many 
installs worked long enough to type yum update, which promptly 
destroyed them to the point of being unbootable.  So if I do 
something here thats not recoverable via amanda, and have to 
re-install, the re-install with start with disk 1 of debian-3.1.  Or 
maybe even gentoo, but at 70, I may not have enough time to get it to 
run as clean as I have this one running now for day to day use.
