Updating the Kernel Using RPMs
It is also possible to install a new standardized kernel from an RPM file. As you can see, it is much simpler than creating a customized one.
To create an additional kernel using RPMs, use the command:
[root@bigboy tmp]# rpm -ivh kernel-file.rpm
To replace an existing kernel using RPMs, you need only one line:
[root@bigboy tmp]# rpm -Uvh kernel-file.rpm
