There is no need to remove the old kernel. Use the --replacefiles option to
rpm when installing the new kernel. Then verify that your grub.conf/lilo.conf
has the correct entry.

Well, it wasn't as simple as that. rpm says:"kernel ... is already
installed" and will not go on. The identifiers (file names) are
identical, remember?

Any other ideas?

rpm -ivh --force <rpm_name>
