I was using yum to update the kernel, and although the first upgrade
kept the original one, and gave me revision 2139, the one I did yesterday
gave me 2145 but wiped out my original 2054.....   I didn't see an
option to keep old ones, what is the official way to keep the old ones?

you have to edit the installonlyn.conf in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d directory.

example file
[main]
enabled=1
# this sets the number of package versions which are kept
tokeep=5

change enable= to 0 to keep all kernels
tokeep= is the number of prior kernels you would like to keep.  I
changed my system to keep 5 prior kernels.
