Can you please provide the instructions/ commands to re install the original kernel. Also please let me know if anything went wrong with this re-installation of 2.6.9-42 kernel, will it affect the other kernel from working or I can still continue to use the 2.6.9.34 kernel?
find the original RPM for the kernel you want and run
rpm -Uvh <rpm name>
if it fails saying it's already installed run:
rpm -Uvh --force <rpm name>
if it fails saying something newer is already installed run:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <rpm name>
The installation of 2.6.9-42 will likely remove the 2.6.9-34 kernel, I *think* you can get around that by using rpm -iv instead of -Uvh, that should install the new kernel along side the old. But you should keep a backup of the other kernel just in case(or track down the original RPM for that as well).
