Most likely "yum install kernel" will get you a regular kernel. If you do "yum list kernel\*" you will see a list of all of the available kernel packages. >From there you can pick the one you want. Once you have the regular kernel running I would do "yum erase kernel-xen" if you are not going to use the xen stuff. Warning, only erase the xen kernel AFTER you have the machine running the normal kernel, otherwise you will have a machine that will not boot. In addition you should edit /etc/grub.conf to make the normal kernel the default. That way you will not have to select it each time you reboot.
