I would guess that a simple
rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.18-SGI_XFS_1.1.athlon.rpm
would do the trick. You might need to manually update lilo.conf too.

I am actually a Grub-user, but I must say that since LILO went
graphical, there is really no reason not to use LILO. Grub has some
cool things, but now LILO does as well. LILO, in addition to what
GRUB does, includes the option to change the default boot ONLY for the
next boot, it, forces a

some machines are automatic, some require sndconfig to get it
