All you really need to do is rpm -Uvh k_athlon.bla.bla.rpm and reboot the machine (after downloading the new kernel, of course)
Don't you need to run mkinitrd, after upgrading / installing the kernel? I thought that without it you'd get a kernel panic upon rebooting. I'm just checking my newbie knowledge, but i thought i had learned this key point through others mistakes.
When the kernel upgrades I've done, it wasn't necessary.. I just made sure to run lilo. Haven't had any kernel panic problems at all..
Maybe it's because i upgreded the kernel through apt-get.
Thanks, I guess I was misinformed. But I've only upgraded once so I don't have
much experience to call upon.
