What happens when you try to download the kernel files via up2date?

When you run up2date, I believe there is a checkbox you have to check in order to include the kernel among the downloads.

I just don't remember exactly.

Now that I have changed it as above it does not list that the Kernal file needs to be updated.

What is the version of your kernel ?

Also, you can always go to the RedHat Network, download and install the kernel manually.
