If you have the yum-utils package, you can do this:

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.10-1.766_FC3
kernel-2.6.10-1.770_FC3
kernel-2.6.11-1.14_FC3
kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3
kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3

$ sudo package-cleanup --oldkernels
Setting up yum
I will remove the following 3 kernel(s):
2.6.11-1.14_FC3
2.6.10-1.770_FC3
2.6.10-1.766_FC3
Is this ok [y/N]: y

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.11-1.27_FC3
kernel-2.6.11-1.35_FC3
