[Re-directed to the list, after replying to Rodrigo...] IIRC, you should *always* use "rpm -i" (install) for kernel rpms, not -F (freshen, i.e. update.)
Doing so could (will?) result in a non-bootable system (because update will try to delete your current kernel and--even if it succeeds--the new one might not work.) I believe that the package naming is deliberately 'broken', so you can't do this accidentally... Once you've installed the new kernel, you should check /etc/lilo.conf ("man lilo.conf" to learn more) and make sure it's right. Then run "lilo"--this can't hurt, and it will warn you if anything is missing, etc. Finally, I'll assume that this is your first kernel install, in which case: "keep a rescue disk handy."
