Re: Fedora-laptop-list Digest, Vol 9, Issue 11

[David Dembrow]

The same thing happened to me after I updated everything via yum 
update.  One of the update packages is the kernel.  However, one 
typically does not replace the kernel unless it is a known good kernel - 
so the previous is always available in case the new kernel fails.

In your case the 2798 kernel is the one before an update and the 2895 
kernel is the one that was updated and should be used as the default.

Hope that helps.  Of course I probably don't know what I am talking about.
