RedHat 6.2 2.219 kernel upgrade to 2.4.12 kernel?

Okay folks i need your expert advice and opinion on what i'm thinking of doing RedHat 6.2 2.219 kernel upgrade to 2.4.12 kernel?

I currently have:

- RH 6.2 with 2.2.19 kernel on
- Dual P3 866, 768mb ram server
- with WHM/Cpanel installed.

I plan to upgrade the kernel only from 2.2.19 to 2.4.12. Is this doable and will there be any problems ? I could get my host VO to do it, but i also want to learn myself but i'm afraid of messing it up RedHat 6.2 2.219 kernel upgrade to 2.4.12 kernel? Hence i need your advice in looking over a 'how to upgrade kernel guide' that i mixed and matched from various sources which reported success in doing an a 2.4.x kernel upgrade.

I am also confused as to what i must enter in the /etc/lilo.conf file to:

1. add new image file entry
2. keep the old image file entry

Below is the guide i'll put up at http://i4net.tv/marticle/ after i have successfully done the upgrade (with of course the addition to the instructions as to what i need to enter in /etc/lilo.conf which is missing currently from the below instructions).

I appreciate any help and suggestions and if you find any errors in the below instructions please let me know RedHat 6.2 2.219 kernel upgrade to 2.4.12 kernel?
