Linux RHEL 4 upgradation problem

Hi All,

I have some problem in upgrading Linux from kernel 2.4.21-4.EL to 2.4.21-27.EL.

I downloaded the package from
Rpm source :
kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL.i386 RPM

I upgraded using

rpm -Uvh kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL

It installed sucessfully, But when i check grub.conf file after restarting system,it only shows the previous kernel version.

but the kernel package is installed

[root@navan root]# rpm -qa kernel*
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-source-2.4.21-27.EL
kernel-2.4.21-4.EL
kernel-utils-2.4-8.37

Why the kernel was not upgraded,Please Advice..

TIA,

You downloaded the kernel source code, not the kernel itself.
