I am wanting to move to the latest kernel 2.2.18 from 2.2.16-22 on my Redhat 7 box. Can anyone point my to the RPM so I can just upgrade my kernel or do I need to compile 2.2.18 and then remove the 2.2.16-22 kernel from my system? I already have the 2.2.18 kernel compiled but I am having problems with 2 things...SCSI Emulation & Initialization of eth0. On my 2.2.16-22 side, I have everything running nice and smooth but when I boot the 2.2.18 kernel I cannot get it to emulate scsi so I can use my CD-R. Then, when it tries to initialize eth0 it says "Delaying initialization." Do I need to reinstall my Linksys drivers for my NIC? And if so, will this effect the 2.2.16-22 kernel side of my system? I don't want to do anything that is going to effect my old setup that way I have something to fall back on until I get 2.2.18 running nice and smooth. That is why I would prefer to find an RPM so I can upgrade my kernel instead of compiling a new one. These are the only things that are keeping me from moving completely over to the latest kernel. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...

Kernel NHF (http://www.linuxnewbie.org/nhf/intel/compiling/kernel_update.html)

This is what I used my first time... works well and gives you something to "fall back on"

LILO is cool http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/cool.gif

I did use that and that is where I am at right now...I need to be able to get SCSI Emulation to work and also need to initialize eth0...Thanks though...
