It is safer to do:
rpm -Ivh kernel-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm kernel-ibcs-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm \
kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.16-3.i386.rpm
That way you keep a copy of the old kernel - just in case!

Instead of just changing the origional entry, copy it, and change the
lable entry to old, then modify the origional entry to point the the new
kernel.
