You can use yum to get rid of old kernels provided that you are running
comfortably on the latest one.
yum remove kernel-2.6.15
Also you have both the regular and smp kernel installed so you can take
out the ones you aren't using.
There is no problem with getting rid of older ones.
Cheers

Hi Admins,
I have started getting the following error emailed to me from one of
my servers running Fedora Core release 4 (Stentz):
Error: Transaction Check Error: installing package
kernel-2.6.16-1.2108_FC4 needs 2MB on the /boot filesystem
I had a look and /boot has numerous kernels and System.map files.
..

It looks like yum has been updating the kernel on my system for some
time.
I wasn't sure if this was a wise idea? If other admins think this is
okay, shall I just remove a few of the older kernel file and
accompanying system.map to allow yum to update the kernel?
Thanx.
Dp.
