kernel patch update how to
Hi All,
I need to update my redhatas4 kernel with kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL.src.rpm.
When I run this
[root@localhost tmp]# rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.9-67.0.20.EL.src.rpm

After reboot, I check my version with uname -a,
[root@localhost tmp]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-67.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Nov 7 13:56:44 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
there's nothing changes so I think I did not install the kernel properly and run it again but nothing changes.
What should I do to properly update it?
Thanks in advance.

rpm2cpio
rpm2cpio(1) User Commands rpm2cpio(1)
NAME
rpm2cpio - convert Red Hat Package (RPM) to cpio archive
SYNOPSIS
rpm2cpio [file.rpm]
DESCRIPTION
The rpm2cpio utility converts the .rpm file specified as its sole argument to a cpio archive on standard output. (See NOTES.) If no argu-
ment is given, an rpm stream is read from standard input. In both cases, rpm2cpio will fail and print a usage message if the standard out-
put is a terminal. Therefore, the output is usually redirected to a file or piped through the cpio(1) utility.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Converting an rpm file
example% rpm2cpio Device3Dfx-1.1-2.src.rpm | cpio -itv
CPIO archive found!
