You have to put the kernel you want in ticks. Like so: apt-get install 'kernel#2.4.18-24.8.0@athlon' Once you do that, then you can also get the alsa kernel rpms which you'll need to match to the kernel. If you install the kernel using apt, it should update grub automatically and boot into the new kernel. Check /etc/grub.conf to see if it changed. (Redhat Network should do the same when you update the kernel through them).
