Oh yes it will. '-i' (install) will leave the old kernel package(s)
alone. '-U' (upgrade) will uninstall all other versions. From the rpm
man page:
This upgrades or installs the package currently installed
to a newer version. This is the same as install, except
all other version(s) of the package are removed after the
new package is installed.
If you want to have two (or more) different kernels installed, use
'-i'.
Cheers,
John
