Hi,<br />
<br />
For RHEL 3.0 use following.<br />
<br />
up2date kernel<br />
<br />
For RHEL 5.0 use following.<br />
<br />
yum install kernel &nbsp;(This will install latest kernel without replacing the old)<br />
<br />
Else you can download the kernel and install using rpm to keep existing<br />
<br />
rpm -ivh kernel.x.rpm <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

I would go with using up2date or yum as mentioned above and not with using only the rpm command as the rpm cmd does not resolve dependencies directly.

<br />
RHEL 3 - up2date kernel<br />
<br />
RHEL 5 - yum update kernel<br />

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
