I've switched from the xen kernel to regular kernel and trying to remove the xen one is giving me an error:

[root@ ~]# rpm -e kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 error: Failed dependencies: xen-hypervisor-abi = 3.1 is needed by (installed) xen-3.0.3-64.el5_2.1.i686

This means you have to uninstall the "xen" package before you can uninstall "kernel-xen".

Also, look at the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel and make sure the default kernel is the standard one:

DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel

(Yours might say kernel-xen if you initially installed the xen kernel)
