You need to follow Gerry's email again, making sure that check mark
mentioned below is really there:
"Log onto Red Hat Network.
Select the Systems Tab.
Select your Severn system.
Click on Alter Channel Subscriptions.
Place a check by Severn Beta 2 (i386) Updates.
Click on Change Subscriptions.
The next time you run up2date from the panel applet, it will have this
channel available."
My system is applying dozens of updates now, including a kernel version
newer than yours.
