I think the above steps are correct. Just make sure you're not currently running the soon-to-be-deleted kernel to avoid facing strange problem. Maybe it's ok for deleting currently running kernel image (since it's already loaded fully to RAM and initrd is no longer in RAM once you pass init stage), but modules are loaded on-demand so you can't delete them while still (possibly) needed. regards, Mulyadi. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
