If you're running that known-good kernel at the time you do the
yum update, yum won't remove it.

I have a default FC5 setup as far as keeping other kernels goes. I
know that when a new kernel is installed it automatically edits grub
to put it as the default kernel on next boot, and the current kernel
running is left in grub.conf as well. I then go in and edit grub.conf
and simply comment out the previous kernel (being the one currently
running when upgrading to the new kernel). When a 3rd revision of
the kernel comes around I install that one and then remove the 3rd
generation kernel and its commented entry in grub.conf, then comment
out the 2nd generation kernel. This way if I run into issues I simply
boot with a rescue or live CD and edit grub.conf, removing the
commented line and putting that kernel as the default boot. Perhaps
not the most efficient way to do this, but for a single dual boot home
system it works well enough for me. I realize I could simply leave
that line uncommented and it would cause no issues, just list a third
boot option in grub. But my wife & two young kids also use the
computer so I try and keep it as simple as possible. Both my kids are
now starting to use Linux (moreso for OpenOffice Impress - I just
haven't told them that I have the Windows version also installed as I
want them to start migrating to Linux and see the benefits of it, even
though they are still elementary school age - all the games on it is
another good sell to get them into it).
