Probably, as long as they are kernel *source* RPMs you're looking at
:-) Installing a new binary kernel isn't likely to help unless they've
compiled a kernel to fix whatever it was that triggered your compiling
your own in the first place.

I don't remember, as I've been using the Debian kernel-package to do
this for a couple of years now, but I think you may also need 'make
modules' and 'make modules_install' if you've compiled anything in as a
module.
