I can't reproduce that.. running FC1 + bits from fedora.us and
dist-upgrade to FC2-test (actually current devel tree) isn't wanting to
remove any kernels, everything seems perfectly normal actually.

Going to need more details to have a chance to even guess what's going
on - is it vanilla FC1 (kernel) you're running or something else?
Running dist-upgrade with "-o debug::pkgproblemresolver=1" ought to
explain what's going on.
