Hi,
Conveniently enough, Red Hat has instructions on making limited
updates to a 5.2 installation in order to make it kernel-2.2 ready:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-2.2/kernel2.2-upgrade.html
And I'd recommend compiling the kernel yourself rather than
rpm'ing it.
Regards,
Matt Hiller
