So you are dropping the 2.2.16-22 kernel from redhat 7.0 into a 6.2
distribution...

It is possible if you go get the update for the rpm package and use
that to install the 7.0 rpms.
But take care when doing this... 7.0 appears to be a very different
beast from 6.2 - but I'm running this kernel with no problems on a
laptop (pcmcia etc). It's a very nice kernel... full routing
capabilities are now compiled into it and so on. However the USB
support doesn't seem to want to work (or only half-work) for me
(both the joystick and mouse drivers didn't see the devices, despite
doing everything the docs I could find told me to do).
