Well, for n00bies like you, it is not advised to compile the kernel by yourself

just do

sudo yum -y update kernel

2.6.18 is such recent kernel why do you want to install 2.6.19 now?

Stick with 2.6.18!

2.6.19 comes with new ATA code and might become headache for you. Let it mature a bit...

sudo yum -y update kernel
Here's the answer. Desertwind has already given it.
You will only get the latest version that is made available by the developers. If you want a newer version you will have to compile it manually.
