No. There is no rule against using kernels from www.kernels.org . The only thing that you have to consider is that kernels from www.kernel.org are in source form . That means that they have to be build first in order to be used. Look in the documentation cd of Redhat Linux 7.2 there is a kernel-howto with instructions on how this can be achieved . Also as soon as you decompress the file you download from www.kernel.org ( it usually comes in *.tar.gz , tar zxpvf *.tar.gz , is the command for decompressing the file ) don't forget to read the README file . On the other hand kernels from Redhat download sites come in rpm format, which means that the only thing you have to do to use them is to enter the command rpm -i kernel-version.rpm . That is assuming kernel-version.rpm is the file that you downloaded from Redhat download sites ( that would be updates.redhat.com.
