So modify the rpm statement to "rpm =qa | grep kernel " or "rpm -qa

A typo I guess `=' but this:
rpm -qa|grep kernel\*
The above doesn't have a grep.
won't show anything different than:
rpm -qa|grep kernel
More to the point:
rpm -qa kernel
Is also the same.
No, these are NOT the same.
The first gives:
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-source-2.4.20-8
kernel-2.4.20-8
kernel-doc-2.4.20-8
as does:
$ rpm -qa | grep kernel\*
kernel-source-2.4.20-8
kernel-2.4.20-8
kernel-doc-2.4.20-8
and this is the same result as well:
$ rpm -qa kernel\*
kernel-source-2.4.20-8
kernel-2.4.20-8
kernel-doc-2.4.20-8
but yours gives:
$ rpm -qa kernel
kernel-2.4.20-8
