[ignoring signature issues]If you have a current (older) kernel that boots and works, you probably want to use -i with the rpm command with the kernels (only) vs -U because -U would remove the old working kernels... I am not sure if the below yum commands will obey the install only kernel settings you normally get with yum, but I suspect they might.
Oops! Sending too fast. Sorry. Make the above into "localupdate":
yum --nogpgcheck localupdate *6.0.69-1.fc10*
yum --nogpgcheck localupdate k*2.6.27.4-69.fc10*
