Need help - updated kernel error

Ah, another Luddite like me :-)

I went through this same process a few weeks ago (in order
to get my new wireless card working), and found the
easiest thing was to use the Red Hat network:
  # up2date -d kernel

It takes a while, especially with the "free" subscription, but
"up2date" will work out the relevant dependencies and pull
down everything (it will also install it all for you if you
omit "-d", but I wanted the RPMs around in case something
went wrong).
