When you upgraded from F13 to F14 the upgrade left a F13 kernel.
(Think of it as a precaution.)

Here is a simple way to remove that extra kernel without editing
skills or usage of a gui:

1. Boot F14.

2. If in Gnome or KDE or other desktop open a terminal.

3. Do "yum list kernel* "

4. Remove undesired installed kernel via "sudo yum remove kernel_____ "

Yum/rpm will take care of/remove the grub entry.
