Try using -U instead of -i. It looks like rpm is saying it can't install
because it already exists...howerver, -U is upgrade...which may very well
work.
Also, instead of /boot/vmlinux-2.2.16-3, see if /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-3
exists...if so, change the "Boot image:" line to read vmlinuz, instead.
It's a compressed kernel, and lilo won't complain.
