There was a binary kernel 2.2 rpm from Red Hat, but only for a few days.
I guess it was not quite ready.  It's gone now, so you need to
wget the kernel source and compile it.

There is a wget rpm on the RH5.2 CD.

What order to install the updates?  Rpm -Uvh knows!
  1. Get the RH updates for 2.2 all alone in a directory (wget will do
that).
  2. rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Get Kernel 2.2.2 source: 
  wget -mc ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.2.tar.gz

Get Red Hat 5.2 rpm updates for 2.2:
  wget -mc ftp://rufus.w3.org/linux/redhat/updates/5.2/kernel-2.2/i386/

Directions for those without X-Ray vision:

What, you can't print?  Something else broken?  Read the Changes file
:-)
