Mike I have deliberately 'hijacked' this thread because, I think you may be losing sight of what you are trying to achieve. This thread was started because your ATI Radeon video card was running very slowly and you hoped a new kernel might improve it.
I did point out that there are proprietary ATI drivers for Radeon cards that
will not be present in **any** kernel you obtain from Mandrake or kernel.org
You can apply the ATI drivers to your current kernel by getting the drivers from ATI directly, but to make things easier Mandrake have already compiled drivers and make them available through Mandrake Club.
Perhaps an ATI user could comment and tell Mike how to get the correct drivers
working either on his existing Mandrake 10.0, or on 10.1?

The ones I have installed numerous times are the ATI Linux drivers from ATI. They didn't work so that is why I am trying to update the kernel. Thnks.
