RH ES2.1, how to upgrade to kernel 2.6?

[Adam Williams]

Because my company relies on a proprietary piece of software that 
requires oracle 9, and oracle 9 is only support on rh es 2.1 from our 
vendor.  but since this server will soon be our primary server, the tape 
drive autoloader will be on it, and I need large file support for samba 
so I can transfers the backups from the other servers to this one to 
write to the tape.  I was able to get all of the rpms I needed updated, 
I foudn what I needed on rpmfind.net.  But kernel 2.6 still won't compile :(
