The system is running kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686 so I
don't need the other one. How do I go about instructing yum that
it's installed and to remove it, if it tells me the package isn't
installed?
How was the kernel installed? The rpm database probably does not know
about the kernel if rpm (or yum) was not used to install it.

If rpm was used to install, I wonder if rebuilding the rpm database
might help?
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
#db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages
#rpm --rebuilddb
Some one else might be along with more insight....

P.S. Note that __db* has two underscores...
