Change the configuration in yum.conf to keep more than two kernels.
Two's not enough for exactly the reason that you're concerned with.

e.g. installonly_limit=6

I left mine high after seeing a rapid release of several kernels, yonks
ago.  I wouldn't recommend more than six, it gets slower for yum/rpm to
sort itself out when you want to update/install things, the more you
have installed.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
