It's

rpm -e --justdb <name-of-kernel-package>

To find out what is the RPM package name of the kernel installed, you could do

rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz

E.g.

hartmut@dhcppc0:~> rpm -qf /boot/vmlinuz
kernel-default-2.6.13-15.7

And then (you must be user "root" to do the next step)

rpm -e --justdb kernel-default


Greetings from Stuhr
