Is there any commad for eliminate old kernels from grub instead of edit manually grub.conf and eliminate the files from /boot?
To see which kernels are installed: rpm -qa | grep kernel
then remove via : yum remove kernel-2.6.9-11.EL
Ah... Useless use of grep category ;-)
Much faster (esp. if on older hardware):
# rpm -q kernel kernel-smp kernel-hugemem kernel-devel kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL package kernel-smp is not installed package kernel-hugemem is not installed package kernel-devel is not installed # rpm -e kernel-2.6.9-11.EL kernel-2.6.9-22.EL
And you are done... Basically, it is the same as removing any other package. The rpm command can accept as argument either just a package name (kernel) or package name and version (kernel-2.6.9-11.EL).
If you type only "rpm -e kernel", you'll get error message telling you more than one version of the package matches. There's an option '--allmatches' to remove all versions, but you do not want to use it in this case (you need at least one version of kernel installed).
