This is not possible with YOU.

rpm -ivh <new kernel package> works well and also readjusts the sym
links in /boot as required. Download the required Kernel RPM and
install it from the command line.

It's a good strategy to keep at least the last running kernel installed.
From this point you'll never run in any Kernel update trouble. ;) Also
ensure to remove unneeded Kernels with rpm -e kernel-default-2.6.5-7.204
e.g. as you else might run in out of space of /boot.
