i think for a kernel upgrade you should compile the source by ur self
not from the rpm...
download the new kernel at www.kernel.org
unpack the kernel, and go into the kernel directory
make menuconfig
make dep
make clean
make bzImage
make bzlilo
then edit your lilo.conf
one of the reason why people do a kernel upgrade is to optimized their
kernel...
there are many options that your system dont need, but unfortunately
the kernel load'em all if we boot the machine....
so..take sometimes to compile your kernel...
trust me it wont useless at all...
