Use rpm -ivh to install the new kernel alongside your current kernel.
Check your /boot directory/partition to check that the kernel image is
there.
Check /etc/lilo.conf to check that the new kernel is entered and has the
same image filename as in /boot. At the top of this file you can make
your new kernel the default by replacing the current kernel's label with
the new kernel's label.
Run /sbin/lilo
Reboot and select your new kernel to boot (if you didn't make it the
default selection). Enjoy!

PS. You should probably also install the new kernel docs, headers and
possibly source. I do this before installing the kernel itself using the
rpm -Uvh command for those ones. Good luck.
