That would mean a kernel needs to be heavily tested before it can be used 
for an update disk.
Since the development is past 1.0.1 already and fitting 1.0.1 from 2.4.5 on 
a newer kernel wouldn't be a really good idea either.

It is very likely that by the time a redhat 7.2 update disk comes along we 
will probably have a newer version included anyways.

What you could also do is use the Mandrake 8.1 kernel since this also 
supports XFS and is well tested before release.

Since the dependencies with the rpms are tricky you can download a tar.bz2 
here:

This is the contents of the kernel-source rpm but a bit easier to handle.
It will extract into a linux directory and is a 2.4.8-ac12 kernel.

YMMV
