In a text editor as root go to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf .

Change "enabled=1" to "enabled=0" . Henceforth all kernels will be saved. You 
should be able to specify the number of kernels to save using "tokeep=x", but 
I saw that someone had a problem with that, so I'd just change "enabled=" to 
0
