If I were you, I'd leave the last know-to-work kernel in the boot list 
for a while (so basically always have the current, and the previous 
version).

To remove specific version of kernel, do "rpm -e kernel-version" 
replacing the "version" with kernel version you want to remove (or do 
"rpm -q kernel" and than cut&paste string from there).

To make the new kernel default, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change 
"default" line to point to new kernel (they are numbered starting with 0).
