I believe the older kernels required an additional
"kernel-modules" rpm. It appears the new ones package the modules in with
the kernel itself. Take a look at updates.redhat.com and download the new
kernel (try "rpm -qpl kernel-2.0.35-2.i386.rpm" to see the file listing of
the updated kernel package). You might want to read the errata first; at
one point there were special instructions for upgrading kernels that may
still need to be followed.
If you'd like to compile your own, take a look at
http://www.pobox.com/~wstearns/buildkernel/ .
Cheers,
- Bill
