Well, kernel one works when there are multiple kernels installed. It happens when yum
installs a new kernel update. Each kernel brings along its respective kernel-devel,
kernel-header packages.
Not exactly, but yes the kernel is set up so that multiple versions
can be installed at the same time. You still can't erase them all; you need
to specify versions when you do an erase. There all also depencies on
miminum versions of the kernel, because some things won't work correctly
with older kernels.
