Not all of them, just the ones that specifically use parts of the kernel.

How difficult is it to upgrade the kernel?? im using RedHat 9.0 2.4.20-8
Probably not hard on RedHat if they distribute the kernel via rpm, following on from the above question, all the rpms that depend on that kernel should be upgraded automatically too. Also, contrary to popular belief, compiling your own kernel is quite easy.

Glad you got it all sorted anyway, welcome to the world of frustrating though ultimately rewarding linux use
