    As I also said in my reply to your essentially identical post, I used
    -Fvh. Bad choice of the word "update" on my part. I was using it
    descriptively, not as the name of a mode of operation of the rpm
    program. I have been using -Fvh for all of the kernel "updates" to
    rh9, and never had this happen before.
