Thanks for the info.
Do you usually upgrade the full source of the latest kernel?
When is it ok to just use the patch kernel upgrade?
For instance in my case I'm currently at 2.6.18 and am going
to 2.6.23. The patch version of the kernel would not get me all
of the new kernel's features correct?

This is a very good document and the document I always refer to in times
of need.
It is worth noting that as another has stated, you should yum install a
new genuine
Redhat kernel, unless you have an explicit need for a generic kernel (I
have had
Such a need in the past when I had driver issues with a Redhat kernel).

Subject: How to upgrade the kernel
I'm running Linux kernel 2.6.18-8.el5 on an RHEL 5 distribution.
I downloaded the 2.6.23.1 kernel from kernel.org.
Does anyone have a good and accurate step by step process on how to
upgrade the kernel?
Will I need to upgrade anything else besides the kernel itself?
Thank you.
