I have recently downloaded the Redhat SMP kernel pacakages (rpm) and xfs
tools from oss.sgi.com.  The packages installed without error.  I created a
ramdisk image from the new kernel and updated lilo with the following
lines:

image=/boot/vmlinux-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp
        label=xfs
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp.img
        read-only
        root=/dev/sda8
        append="hdc=ide-scsi"


When I run lilo, I get the following output:

[root@generic /boot]# lilo -t
Added linux *
Added linux-up
Fatal: Kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.4.2-SGI_XFS_1.0smp is too big

So far, I have not been able to work around this problem.

The system is a dual P4 Xeon with 2GB RAM and 18GB ultra-3 scsi disk.
Currently it is running Redhat 7.1 with the stock smp kernel.

Any assistance with this will be appreciated.
