How can I upgrade kernel on a Redhat Linux machine

[NTOUGHE GUY-SERGE]

Hi Doug,
Normally for upgrading a package on Redhat , you need to type : pup, an other way for solving your problem is to download a kernel package  with the correct release version i.e to Kernel 2.6.9-42.EL  and glibc 2.3.4 and intalling it with it's dependencies.
hope this will help
regards

Subject: How can I upgrade kernel on a Redhat Linux machine








Hi,
 
I have installed a 
CAD tool and it complains when launched that the kernel and glibc on this Redhat 
Linux machine is too old and need to be upgraded. I  need help to figure 
out how to upgrade both of them.
 
This is the current 
configuration: Redhat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant)
                                             Kernel 
2.6.9-5.ELsmp
                                             
glibc 2.25
 
I need to upgrade at 
least to Kernel 2.6.9-42.EL and glibc 2.3.4
 
Please kindly let me 
know where I can download the kernel and glibc and how I can upgrade them. Also, 
will the kernel upgrade affect the software currently installed and running 
without problem? Do I need to compile the new kernel?
 
Thank you very much 
for your assistance in advance.
 
Douglas
