*** DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK ***

I am not sure if this has been touched on or not, but I do realize since 
I gave the /boot 99mb, it can fill up quickly.  BUT, the best & safest way 
to remove old kernels

rpm -qa | grep kernel

kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1EL
kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1ELsmp
kernel-2.6.9-22.0.2EL
kernel-2.6.9-22.0.2ELsmp

(decide what you want to get rid of)

yum remove kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1EL kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1ELsmp
yum remove kernel-2.6.9-22.0.2EL kernel-2.6.9-22.0.2ELsmp
reboot

I tested this on 1 test box, and on 1 production system (my own).  Both 
systems did come backup.  No intervention required.  I know it says at 
your own risk.  If you want to know why, google "Murphy's Law".
