If you did "rpm -e kernel", that it attempted to remove *all* three 
kernels you had installed.  I don't know what's rpm going to do in this 
case (simply exit, remove all but one (probably a random choice?), 
something else).

What you wanted to do is to first get the list of all installed kernel 
packages, and then specifically remove the ones that you don't need.

   rpm -q kernel
   rpm -e kernel-version-1 kernel-version-2

Where version-1 and version-2 are kernel versions that you wanted to remove.
