[ltp] up2date (RH) and updating the kernel

[otisg]

Hello Thomas and others,

I agree, compiling the kernel manually with custom settings
would be better.

Would anyone happen to have some good .config files for T40?

I actually don't have any of my own on this T40, it looks like I
always just got the default RedHat kernel on this particular
machine.

Thank you,
Otis
