If you really want to be safe:

yum remove kernel

will remove all installed kernels *except* for the one you're currently
using.  (That is, yum won't allow you to leave yourself without a kernel
for the next time you boot.)  You probably don't need to be this
heavy-handed, but you never know when something like this might come in
handy.

I did that. Ran yum update. Same problem.

But I figured it out. I've been planning to upgrade to F18 when I have the courage. I've run fedup. But then when I upgrade to a new F17, grub2, in it's infinite wisdom, places all the upgrade stuff from a fedup boot to the command line of the new F17 kernel.

Only way to fix is to go edit grub.cfg itself. And you need to keep doing it with every kernel upgrade. Sigh.
