Kernel swapping for newbies.

Here's my saga:

I wanted to install the new Xpmac (supposedly accelerated for the mach64 chip,
or something.) It told me I needed glibc 2.1.3 or better and kernel 2.2.10 or
better.

I figured that all I needed to do to use the new kernel was to download it,
gunzip it, put it in my Mac OS system folder, and tell BootX to use it.

When I rebooted, I got a million error messages telling me that my
/boot/System.map didn't match my kernel. So I put back the old kernel.

I have all kinds of theories on what I should try to do next, but they're all
fundamentally flawed...

How do you upgrade the kernel in Yellow Dog Linux?

I'm running the Champion Server 1.1 with minimal changes.
