Dear all,

 I have followed the instructions of redhat of how to upgrade a kernel
downloading from the upgrades.redhat.com web page the corresponding
RPMs.

 I have downloaded the following RPMs for my fresh installation:

 kernel-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm
 kernel-source-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm
 kernel-smp-2.4.18-24.7.x.i686.rpm (since its a double proccesor box)

 I did the upgrade of the kernel-source RPM and had to use -ivh --nodeps
--force options to install the kernel and the kernel-smp RPMs.

 I noticed that the kernel progress bar only reached the 50%.

 Everything seems to be fine, but what could be wrong or everything is
fine?

 Many thanks in advance

 Miguel
