Hi, Richard,
I'm not very used to RedHat, but you should have an option to install
the kernel source. So mount the RedHatCD, and browse it for something like
kernel-2.*.*.rpm, or kernel-2.*.*.tar.gz. If you find it, just copy it
into '/usr/src', and unrpm (or unzip) it. It should create the directory
'/usr/src/linux-2.*.*'. Change to that directory, and do the make config,
make dep, make clean, make bzImage, make modules, make modules_install.
Then install the new kernel in the '/boot' directory. For more infos, I'm
sure you have a Kernel-HOWTO somewhere (at least the docs should be
installed...). Or just send another e-mail...
Have fun,
bogdan
