One technique:

If you're sensible to enough to keep more than one or two kernels
installed, then reboot and pick an older kernel to boot from.  Then, use
rpm or yum to remove one of the newer kernels.  Then use rpm or yum to
install a kernel.

Hints:

[tim at suspishus ~]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586

Looking at the numbers, the last one is the highest version of a kernel
installed on my system.

rpm -e kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
or
yum remove kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586

Read CAREFULLY any warnings about removing other things at the same
time, and think carefully about doing so.

Then,

rpm -ivh /path/to/your/kernel/install/package/kernel-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i586
or
yum install kernel
(and that should get the latest kernel available from a repo).
