(at least none relating to conflicts with the old kernel, at any rate) I normally do: rpm -Fvh kernel-headers*.rpm kernel-source*.rpm rpm -ivh kernel*.rpm On 7.2 that even adds the new kernel to /etc/grub.conf > So thinks I to myself.

That would probably be the easiest solution, if it's a possibility.
