That's a partial answer, This lets me prevent updates to the package once
I get it updated to the desired level

RHEL5 does start with 2.6.18-8 on a fresh install from DVD.
So I can hold it there till I figure out the incantation to get it to
update to 2.6.18-53 and not go all the way to 2.6.18-92.

The other problem of getting all 5 or 5.1 updates,
but no 5.2 unsupported (by IBM) enhancements is still a much bigger mystery.
