MA>Having failed with the kernel upgrade,
I cannot recommend this strongly enough... (though I'm glad Mikkel

again read this:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade/kernel-upgrade.html
This document explains in detail how to upgrade a kernel using binary
RPM's. It's well worth reading and will help keep folks out of the kind
of trouble you got yourself in to! :-)
