Specifying the new kernel should be pretty obvious for both of them. A GRUB entry should look like:
title What you want the option to look like on the menu
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.50-27.8
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.20-27.8
You should copy any kernel options from your old one onto your new one as well.
LILO should look something like:
image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.50-27.8
root = /dev/hda1
label = Whatever you want the option to look like on the menu
append="kernel options"
