u can
just folllow the commands logged in as root

rpm -ivh kernel 2.4.2***.rpm --force
(this is ur 2.4.2 kernel rpm)

now that u hav ethe kernel in place..

u must edit ur grub
for that edit /etc/grub.conf

u can easily edit grub by folloewing the same format given there

btw u dont need initrd line u can comment it off

after that boot in with the 2.4.2 kernel & install the drivers

everything will work perfectly

for more info u can visit infologics.tk/linux.htm
