Re: Removing Old Kernels

Quick question newbie question:

After updating kernels via up2date what is the preferred method for removing old kernels? rpm -e? Or is there another way?

I have tried:
rpm -e kernel-2.4.18-14 kernel-smp-2.4.18-14

It runs forever and never seems to do the job. I let it run all night

and cancelled this morning. Then rebuilt the rpm databases for good measure. Still just hangs.

Any help is appreciated.

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
rpm --rebuilddb
Then try again. Major FAQ.

As noted in the bottom of my message, I did do that this monring. It has been running for about 2 hours now.

Side note: df also hangs - but only at the end. It prints the output and then hangs. Takes a while for the command prompt to come back. I do not know if they are related.
