rpm -e old kernel

[Charles]

I am using RH8 on three boxes. Because I use some softeware that 
needs a completely configured kernel, I usually install the kernel 
sources, make sure that the symlinks in /usr/src point to the 
correct places do

make mrproper
make xconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
make install
reboot...

The I configure, make and install the software (free-swan and wlan-ng).

If everything works and is stable for a few weeks, I do an rpm -e of 
the old kernel.

Well, on one box I decided to try a vanilla 2.4.20. Everything went 
just fine, except that now I cannot do rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0. 
Redhat complains that it is needed.

Hmmm. Ok, so Redhat doesn't know about 2.4.20, so I cannot remove 
kernel-2.4.18-19.8.0?

Is this correct, or am I my usually clueless self?

Cheers--
Charles
