It's safe to remove kernels that you aren't running. This is why yum
*installs* rather than *updates* kernel packages.
After booting using the new kernel, you can remove the old one.
e.g.
# rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4
# uname -r
2.6.12-1.1387_FC4
The "uname" command above shows which kernel you are currently running.
You can safely remove any other kernel, e.g.
# rpm -e kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4
This will remove that version of the kernel, all of its modules, and the
associated entry from your bootloader configuration file (usually grub).
