I have 3 kernel packages installed:
[mfratoni@paradox slinky]$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-2.4.18-14
kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0
kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0

Just to be safe, verify the version of the kernel currently in use.
You don't want to remove the running kernel package.
[mfratoni@paradox slinky]$ uname -r
2.4.18-18.8.0

To remove the oldest:
rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-14

Grub.conf will be updated during the removal process.
