cd /lib/modules
rm preferred
ln -s <new-kernel-number> preferred
reboot w/ LILO
I'm not sure what directory the kernel package installs it's modules
into, but it should be blatantly obvious from looking in the
/lib/modules directory. Use that name for the <new-kernel-number> part
above.

This hasn't been added to the installation instructions yet? There are
no online archives of Mandrake mailing lists? It's getting extremely
tedious answering this question over and over and over...
