I have had problems before with this type of thing and will *never* do any type of update on a production machine before it is tested out on a exact duplicate machine with an identical installation of RHEL. 1. Download desired kernel update from Red Hat Network 2. I would copy the rpm to /root 3. rpm -ivh kernel-update.rpm 4. reboot then when you reboot the new kernel will be the default I would make sure you check for anything not working on the system if any thing is giving you any problems you can reboot and select the old kernel from the grub boot menu. - -- Joey Prestia RHCE L.G.
