Well, I don't think there is any such problem; you can use either
version of glibc (2.1 or 2.2) with either version of the kernel (2.2 or
2.4). I am not certain about glibc 2.1 with kernel 2.4; there might be a
problem there if the glibc 2.1 package was compiled against
pre-kernel-2.4 kernel headers. The glibc 2.2 package is almost certainly
compiled against 2.4, so you should be fine; certainly the Debian
package of glibc 2.2 that I use on my system definitely works with both
versions of the kernel. So, you could upgrade glibc and then the kernel. Or,
if it makes you feel better, you could just download the new kernel and
glibc RPMs and all their dependencies and install them all in one "rpm -Uvh"
line.

That would make it easier :)
