Hi Jim,
I tried that and the results are not good. I can no longer log into the
system and X isn't starting up at all. After it boots, it presents the
character login but the keyboard is dead. I got it to boot the previous
kernel (logged in using single user mode, fixed grub.conf) again the the
same results (not being able to log in).
Did you download the correct archetecture kernel? I had a problem with
keyboard not working with some kernel called hugemem or something
similar. There are ppc, 64 bit and smp kernels in this repository.
Probably have to force install the current kernel. It looks like the
machine crashes as it's not pinging either ...>

From runlevel 1 you might try to use the --install --replacefiles
--replacepkgs --oldpackage options to rpm. I would not consider force
installing anything. Forcing installation on the kernel even sounds more
like a danger zone creation.
/sbin/lspci shows my cards as below. your earlier description seemed to
be referring to the same card type.

I hope you can salvage the system. If you downloaded the wrong
archetecture of kernel, you can uninstall it with rpm, then install the
correct arch version.
