`package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2` might help with that. It
removes all old kernels except the current kernel and the one before
it.
-bash.6[~]: package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2
package-cleanup has to be executed with one of the options: --dupes, --
leaves, --orphans, --problems or --cleandupes
-bash.7[~]:
I read the man page. None of the options suggested above or in the man
page seem to fit what's needed here.
You can also manually do it. For each old kernel listed in
/lib/modules, do something like this:
export kernel_ver=6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64
dnf remove \
kernel-$(kernel_ver) \
kernel-core-$(kernel_ver) \
kernel-devel-$(kernel_ver) \
kernel-modules-$(kernel_ver)
I had to remove the parentheses. The result of one case:
-bash.8[~]: export kernel_ver=6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64
-bash.9[~]: echo $kernel_ver
6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64
-bash.10[~]: dnf remove kernel-$kernel_ver kernel-core-
$kernel_ver kernel-devel-$kernel_ver kernel-modules-$kernel_ver

No packages marked for removal.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

I still have old kernel files in /boot:
-bash.17[~]: cd /boot
-bash.18[boot]: ls *-6.10.*
config-6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64 System.map-6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64
initramfs-6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64.img vmlinuz-6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64
symvers-6.10.12-100.fc39.x86_64.xz
There are no packages involved. You just have to manually delete the
files. You can verify by running "rpm -qf /boot/*" or whatever other
directory you're checking to see which files aren't owned.
