Hi,

Thanks a lot.  I could upgrade RHEL AS 3 Update 3 to Update 6

The following steps were necessary.
1. Downloaded & Installed yum.
2. Installed apache.
3 Copied all the .rpm's, from all the RedHat U6 CD's to one of the folders
in the apache docroot.
4 Ran yum-arch
5 Updated the /etc/yum.conf, to provide the URL for U6 packages.
6 Ran yum -y update.

I got the following error at the end though:
Kernel Updated/Installed, checking for bootloader
Lilo found - adding kernel to lilo and making it the default
rpmdb: fatal region error detected; run recovery
error: db4 error(-30982) from dbenv->open: DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 -  (-30982)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

Thanks
