Yes, you can upgrade the kernel with no problem.
Also, I was wondering what kernel rpms do I actaully need to install, I see
there are several rpms and I didn't think they all needed to be installed, but
I have only done it once and can't remember which ones I installed.
If you plan on compiling things yourself, you should also install the
kernel header sources. Without those, most things won't compile. Docs are
always good too.
Good luck
