To install a precompiled kernel, add the proper source to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.backports.org/debian woody kernel-image-2.4.25-i386 Run apt-get update and then apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386 (there are also 586tsc, 686, k6 and k7 packages available) After installing, configure your bootloader to use the initrd that came with the kernel, rerun lilo and reboot.
