My procedure for a kernel upgrade is to download the necessary RPMs for 
the architecture in question (usually this includes the CPU-specific AND 
i386 RPMs for other packages as well).  For the example of my P5-100 
notebook w/ 40 MB of RAM, I run rpm -Fvh kernel-2.4.20-30.9.i586.rpm, 
immediately followed by doing the same with rpm -Fvh --nodeps 
glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.i386.rpm, then glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7.i586.rpm.  I 
check the /etc/lilo.config file and run lilo.  Then I reboot, and 
upgrade the rest of the relevant i386.rpm packages.  I have not tried 
this recently on the really low-end system (486DX4-100, 16MB RAM).
