You need (from the --requires flag) modutils >= 2.4.18 initscripts >= 5.83 mkinitrd >= 3.2.6 I don't think there have been any major changes, though be aware that there is an exec-shield feature in the new kernel (see the severn release notes for details). The .nptl naming points out that RedHat have added nptl to the kernel, but that was in RHL 9 as well, so that doesn't matter. You may also want the kernel-unsupported package to which RedHat have moved kernel modules they are prepared to ship but not to support. If you install it next to your existing kernel (ie. rpm -i which is a good idea for new kernels anyway), you can always boot your existing kernel if it doesn't work.
