If you've been running yum update, you're already at 5.1. You may just need to reboot to load the new kernel.

Nope, I don't run yum. I do manual updates. So I've rsynced the updates to a local drives, and then ran rpm against them. There's something about running un-attended updates on a life system. I've had too many cases where I come into the office in the morning and the system is dead because of some update overnight.

Yum update "is" a manual process unless you specifically enable it to run nightly.
