Fedora 38
When I boot up, I get a bazillion kernel choices,
most are not Fedora 38:
Sorry for the flash. I could not turn it

The extra kernels are from Fedora 37 and 36.
This is what Fedora 38 says I have:
$ rpm -qa kernel
kernel-6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.4.11-200.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64
Do I really have all those extra kernels?
How do I clean things up?
Look in /boot to see if there are actually kernels and initrd files for the entries. If there are, you will have to manually delete them.
Look in /boot/loader/entries/ to see if there are conf files for those entries and delete the ones that don't match installed kernel packages.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/#sect-clean-up-old-kernels
That won't help in this case because the relevant entries don't have installed packages.
Hi All,
Sam's directions worked perfectly. Thank you Sam!

This is what I did:
How to remove kernels that are not suppose to be there
and do not show in rpm:
# rpm -qa kernel
kernel-6.4.10-200.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.4.11-200.fc38.x86_64
kernel-6.4.12-200.fc38.x86_64
Note: substitute fc38 with your current kernel revision

How about the /usr/lib/modules directory? You probably still have all the modules for the old kernels there.
