Using rpm to upgrade your running kernel is a really bad idea no matter what version of Red Hat, especially if you are using scsi. Basically what it does is rip the modules for the running kernel right out and install the new kernel modules. In the case of scsi, you can write the initrd because you have no loop back devices once you've ripped out the modules. Unless of course you have compiled your own kernel and compiled it all directly in, which in that case I would doubt you would want to be upgrading to one of Red Hat's kernel rpms. What you should do instead of -F or -U, is just a regular -I install. This will install the two kernels along side each other and once you are absolutely sure you have no problems with the new kernel then you can remove the old kernel with rpm -e kernel-<version>, make sure to include your version :).
