Did you copy and paste the command from somewhere?
The above is telling you that '$' isn't a valid command, which is correct.
The command you want is: rpm -K --nopgp *rpm 
The $ is intended to represent the command prompt.

RPM is probably already installed.

Yes. Though you shouldn't upgrade the kernel. It's generally better to 
install the new kernel alongside the old one, so you have a known good 
kernel to fall back on if something goes wrong.
I generally use rpm -ivh for the kernel package, and rpm -Fvh for the 
kernel source and headers.

Kernel headers have been moved to a new package.
glibc-kernheaders is the new package, I believe.
Since this is a new package, you'll need to use rpm -ivh on this package.

Hope that helps,
