In a text editor as root go to /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf .

Change "enabled=1" to "enabled=0" . Henceforth all kernels will be
saved. You should be able to specify the number of kernels to save
using "tokeep=x", but I saw that someone had a problem with that, so
I'd just change "enabled=" to 0
