RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.5-15
I'm trying to upgrade the kernel to 2.2.17-14 (latest in RH6.0 directory)

After running RPM -Uvh on the kernel, I get a few lines like the following:
modprobe: tc90x multiply defined

After the RPM finishes, an RPM -q tells me 2.2.17-14 is not installed.

I'm a clueless newbie - what's the "multiply defined" about and how do I fix  
them?

TIA,
Philo

You never use -Uvh to upgrade kernel rpms.
Read this HOWTO on how to upgrade your kernel using rpms.

I'm sorry - posting while tired. I was following the howto, and did use
-ivh to get the "multiply defined"

The kernel install instructions provided explain what options to use.  You
do not want rid of your old kernel, until you have successfully booted with
new one for a while.
