Put the kernel and kernel-modules rpms in a directory, cd to that
directory, then

# yum install *rpm

The post-install scripts will call grubby which will insert the proper
GRUB menu entry.

FWIW, there is no GRUB legacy equivalent for GRUB2's grub-mkconfig
command so there isn't a way to generate a new one from scratch.
