What is the safe way to remove the previous installed kernel version without taking out the uninstalled new version? Is the latter safe in ~/rpmbuild/RPMS if I use 'rpm -e' to remove the former version?
There is no need to remove the old kernel. Use the --replacefiles option to rpm when installing the new kernel. Then verify that your grub.conf/lilo.conf has the correct entry.
Well, it wasn't as simple as that. rpm says:"kernel ... is already installed" and will not go on. The identifiers (file names) are identical, remember?
Any other ideas?
