Yes...thank you for the suggestion...since that was the cause of my problem in the first place!! I should have known better; all I had to do was remove some of the outdated kernel files. And when I did the dumb thing of deleting the /boot files, they were moved into the "protected" .Trash-boot directory.

rather than manually rm'ing the old kernels, you really should use rpm -e kernel-$oldversion

  # rpm -e kernel-2.6.18-194.17.1 kernel-2.6.18-194.26.1

kernel-2.6.18-194.132.1

this will clean up not only /boot but also stuff in /lib/modules and the rpm database etc.
