if you must remove the uniprocessor kernel ... then do

"rpm -qa | grep kermel"

this will list all kernel packages installed ...

then      rpm -e lernel-xx.rpm .... where the one you want to remove is 
listed exactly

personally i wouldnt bother ... systems have so much disk space these 
days that 30 megs means nothing .... but ... if you want ... this is how 
to do it :)
