which version of RH are you running?
RH8/9 use GRUB as a bootloader and installing a new kernel rpm should add
lines to its config file in /boot/grub/grub.conf
Prior to this the boot manager was LILO, which does not read a config file on
boot, but converts the information into a binary form which is loaded at boot
time.
if your boot manager is LILO you need to run
/sbin/lilo -v
after updating your kernel in order to accomplish this - you can then reboot
and it should list an extra/new kernel in the list.
the config file it reads is
/etc/lilo.conf
a sample entry would be:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-14
label ="redhat 8.0"
root=/dev/hdb2
read-only
this will of course vary for you, depending on the kernel version and root
partition.
