I take exception to giving anyone this instruction. You should use -ivh
instead.
If something happens during the update you are left with a non-working
system. If you do the install you then have 2 kernels installed and if
the new one does not work you can easily go back to the old one.
Yum does not do an update on a kernel. It defaults to doing an install
for just this reason. Although I do not use up2date AFAIK it also
handles the kernel packages this way.
