rpm -q -a | grep kernel
to see what kernel parts are installed so download the new rpms with the same
name (but number of verswion upgraded) and you have to download the initscripts
rpm too so do that
rpm -Uvh
for all kernel rpms and iniscripts rpm too.
After you have to tell lilo that you have changed the kernel (I don't know how
because I use loadlin). In loadlin case you have to use new kernel linuz (see
at /boot/linuz) to boot
