root (/) is on /dev/hda6 which is probably past the BIOS limit.
I don't know if lilo can boot from a vfat filesystem, but if it can I
think you're best bet would be to put the new kernel on /dos.
(use rpm2cpio to extract the files and move them into place manually,
make sure you put the new modules in /lib/modules).
Once you boot of the new kernel you can clean up /boot and copy the
kernel there.
very messy.
You're other option is to try and move some of the files from /boot to
see if you can make enough space, but this is both unlikely to work
and also likely to make your box unbootable.
