Yes.  I copied and pasted the command from RH 7.2 upgrade guide.

I recognize having committed a mistake.  Now it worked.

# rpm -K --nopgp *rpm
kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm: md5 GPG NOT OK
kernel-2.4.9-13.src.rpm: md5 (GPG) OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#DB42A60E)
kernel-smp-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm: md5 (GPG) OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#DB42A60E)

I have to re-download  kernel-2.4.9-13.athlon.rpm
What is the meaning of (MISSING KEYS: GPG#DB42A60E)?
