If you still have the packages for the removed kernels "rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.xxx." as either the superuser or root will reinstall them. If you don't have the packages locating them will be a hassle since FC mirrors keep only the latest two. (A request to the list might work.) If you do not want this problem to reoccur edit installonlyn.conf and disable the plugin. In any event you should file a bug report.
