Sorry, doesn't work that way. Oracle has very specific glibc
dependancies that it requires to install. and our vender's proprietary
product also has very unforgiving gcc and glibc requirements for their
code to compile. i'll keep trying. thanks fo rthe help though.

Subject: Re: RH ES2.1, how to upgrade to kernel 2.6?
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 :(

have a server I need to upgrade to kernel 2.6 for >2GB file

any suggestions?
Thanks!
Since you are invalidating the support anyway, why not try
either FC1
or one of the FC2 test releases?
Of course if you want to keep support, try RHEL 3. Not sure
if it will
fix the issue or not.
ES 2.1 is a redhat product that's using a specialized 2.4.9 kernel.
Some of Mr. Cox's additions to kernel 2.6 are already in it,
particularly if you've used your subscription to fix vunerabilities.
ES 3 has even more of 2.6 in it. You will have some serious problems
finding **RPM's** that let you change your kernel to "2.6" given that
this shuts off your support from Redhat and Redhat themselves haven't
finished upgrading to kernel 2.6.
Short answer:
Upgrade to Fedora core 1
su - root
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.backup
cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)
EOF
You now have ES version 3... Sort of. Oracle won't know any different.
Shorter answer:
Buy ES 3
