No, I don't think that's the case. A kernel compiled for a lesser
kernel will run on a newer one, albeit not optimally. The reverse,
however, is not true.
Lance, if you still have a stock Red Hat kernel onboard and available
(that one should boot just about anything), then if anything does get
hosed, you'll be able to get back in and recompile your new kernel.
