Does it matter what kernel you are running prior?
Does a rpm install replace all the necessary boot stuff?
Do you rpm install and just reboot?
Is there a good tutorial somewhere on 2.6 kernel installation via rpm?
What did you mean when you said "rebuilt the rpm on 8.0"?
Does that mean you were running RH 8 and you somehow installed the 2.6 kernel rpms and rebooted to the new kernel? Or were they source rpm's and you did a rpm --rebuild or something like that?
Could RH 8 still be considered RH 8 after such a drastic shange?
Did all your apps/Xwindows/gnome/kde/mozilla and all still run or did they need recompiling too?

The claim is RH9/Rawhide. Any idea whether it would be reasonable to try with RH8.0? Thanks!
I tried it but it kept failing to find my root fs. So I rebuilt the RPM and am running it now on 8.0. All is working very well. I did use the RPMS from there via yum, which allowed me to update the needed utils, etc.. I recommend that method.
