background: RH7.3 I was updating kernel from RHN via ssh connection using 'up2date' when ssh connection dropped off BEFORE the update completed.
I'm assuming the 'up2date' and other processes started from this ssh session also were terminated prior to completion, so, I wanted to 're-install' the kernel the machine is: # uname -a Linux 2.4.20-19.7 #1 Tue Jul 15 13:44:14 EDT 2003 i686 unknown looking on RHN, there are 386 and 686 kernels available: --------------- Available Archs: athlon, *i386*, i586, i686 ...

I tried # up2date -f -d kernel-2.4.20-20.7.i686.rpm # up2date -f -d kernel* # up2date -f -d kernel but it just says: None of the packages you requested were found, or they are already updated.
