asterisk users - Mar 2006 - HOWTO initialize new kernel & kernel source without reboot

Comrades, 

This is somewhat off-topic, but I hope also somewhat on-topic, since
I'll bet a lot of others could save some time if this was able to be
pulled-off. (in fact, I think it is, but I don't know where to begin) Is
there a way to initialize my freshly downloaded & installed updates to
the kernel & kernel source, without rebooting? I pretty much use either
SuSe or CentOS (therefor either YaST or yum), and, of course, after
having updated, zaptel wont make since it doesn't see the 'source'
properly in the /usr/src/.
 
Thanks very much.

Comrade,

IMHO, it is a bad idea to update the kernel of a production machine unless  
there is a compelling reason to do so.  The problem you are having right  
now is one of many reasons why I feel this way.

I believe you can do this by editing your yum config and throwing in:

exclude=kernel-*
