Then, go edit your /etc/lilo.conf to add the new kernel to LILO and
run /sbin/lilo (one can NEVER run that TOO many times! <G>)
After that, it should be safe to reboot.
Please note that you should never REMOVE the old kernel until the new
one is safely installed and tested, which is a good reason to run "rpm
-ivh" instead of rpm -Uvh. rpm -Uvh would overwrite the existing
kernels and your machine might hang on reboot.
