However, from what you said it is now apparent (to me) that you _originally_ installed the xen kernel. This is because /etc/sysconfig/kernel is set up by anaconda at the install time and in your case it had the "kernel-xen" defined. In this case, editing /etc/sysconfig/kernel is indeed required because removing the xen kernels would not touch that file. In other words, once set up by anaconda, /etc/sysconfig/kernel remains the same regardless of what kernel you install or remove at a later time. Akemi
