Amol21,

pludi is right it is in the /boot and it is named as vmlinuz-xx-xx depending on your platform.

You can patch using rpm -Ivh <kernel package> just make sure you get the kernel package at your distributor / vendor.

Please note that I use the rpm -ivh command to make sure that you will install new kernel not update so that you can just remove it if the kernel you installed is not stable for your system.

Cheers!
