If you are installing the kernel the module information is in
/etc/conf.modules. If the new RPM has a new /etc/conf.modules file, it will
save your current one as /etc/conf.modules.rpmsave. You can usualy rename it
to conf.modules and be ready to go.
Also, when installing the new kernel, use rpm -ivh <kernel rpm> instead of
rpm -Uvh <kernel rpm> so that you keep the old kernel just in case.
