Before you start deleting kernels, you should make sure that you're not actually running that version of the kernel. I've heard of a few people that installed new kernels but were running an older one, and then deleted the running kernel out from under themselves. Display your active kernel: $ uname -a You essentially want to keep any useful kernels and delete the rest. If you are happy with the current and the most recent before that, go and delete the rest. Use, for example: # rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x Keep the kernel-headers around even though the version hasn't changed. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
