If you mean by RPM, this is on RH's website. Go to
www.redhat.com/support (IIRC) and fish around. There is a HOWTO there
somewhere.
The key steps are:
rpm -ivv <kernel>.rpm (note the 'i', do not use '-U')
Use text editor and edit /etc/lilo.conf, and add a new stanza for the
new kernel. Make sure to leave at least one, known good kernel -- just
in case.
Run 'lilo -v', and watch for sneaky little error messages.
Reboot.
