I normally do the following:

1. identify the currently running kernel
uname -a
2. identyfy the installed kernels
rpm -q kernel
3. remove the old kernels - for eg:
rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-1.667 kernel-2.6.9-1.678_FC3

And its good to have a backup kernel - so keep the current - and the
previous stable kernel.
