|Well, "rpm -i" of the kernel works for openSUSE 10.2 and SLES
|10 too in this regard.

|What does Redhats automated updater do?

I was unsure so I tested it on a not updated system with default
up2date config:
(I always use --download and nobootloader=1 which prevents it from
changing the bootloader and deleting from /boot)
/boot/grub/grub.conf before:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp.img
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-42.0.3.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.img
/boot/grub/grub.conf after:
# ls -l /boot/grub/grub.conf
-rw------- 1 root root 600 Apr 16 10:51 /boot/grub/grub.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS (2.6.9-42.0.10.EL)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.img
When I look into /boot I only see the new 2.6.9.42.0.10.EL kernel stuff
nothing of the old 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL stuff:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 50338 Feb 16 23:13 config-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Apr 16 10:51 grub
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 566633 Apr 16 10:51 initrd-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL.img
drwx------ 2 root root 12288 Oct 27 2005 lost+found
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23108 Aug 3 2005 message
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21282 Aug 3 2005 message.ja
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 750652 Feb 16 23:13 System.map-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1504567 Feb 16 23:13 vmlinuz-2.6.9-42.0.10.EL
So it verifies what Marcus just said.
