That's a partial answer, This lets me prevent updates to the package once
I get it updated to the desired level
RHEL5 does start with 2.6.18-8 on a fresh install from DVD.
So I can hold it there till I figure out the incantation to get it to
update to 2.6.18-53 and not go all the way to 2.6.18-92.
The other problem of getting all 5 or 5.1 updates,
but no 5.2 unsupported (by IBM) enhancements is still a much bigger mystery.
I've never used RHEL so I don't _know_ what the support arrangements
are, but it seems to me time to bang some heads together. I gather from
what others have said, you have an account rep from RH, and I expect you
also have one at IBM.
I like the idea of "asking" them to go away and sort it out jointly lest
they hear more, very cross, words.
One of the ideas of EL distros, I thought, was to ensure problems such
as this do not arise.
