Re: [CentOS] LIMITING NUMBER OF KERNEL VERSIONS RETAINED

Chris Geldenhuis napsal(a):

Hi

Some time ago there was a discussion on the above subject. I have scanned the past few month's mailing list archives and cannot find the relevant mail(s).

Could somebody please repost the solution or point me at the correct resource.

I would also appreciate advice on how to do this on a RHEL4 server being updated with up2date.

Is it safe just to delete the old kernel and initrd files from the boot partition and the grub conf file?

TIA

Hi, I use this within my kikstart scripts: if [ $(rpm -q kernel | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then rpm -e $(rpm -q kernel | sed '$d'); fi if [ $(rpm -q kernel-smp | wc -l) -gt 1 ]; then rpm -e $(rpm -q kernel-smp | sed '$d'); fi
