> I want to learn to upgrade kernel

You have a couple options.  One is using redhat's up2date.  It will
automatically do everything for you; however, since this probably isn't
what you had in mind, find redhat rpm's your machine. Be sure you know
what type of machine you have.  To find out, try the command uname -p. 
Then find the rpm for the kernel, the kernel source, and the docs.  Then
to install them do 
rpm -ivh kernel name
rpm -ivh kernel source name
rpm -ivh kernel doc names

Now reboot.  You should have 2 kernels listed in your grub.  Choose the
newer one.  If you have problems, you can always reboot back into your
old one.  Of course, you could try building your own from source, but
that might be a bit ambitious.  If you do try to build your own, you
will end up with a better kernel for your machine, but be prepared for
some down time and have your disc's ready to do rescue mode.
