[WBEL-users] Removing old kernel files

[Ganeshram Iyer]

Hello Paul,
Just wanted to confirm what you said. You asked to double check that the 
grub.conf file is pointing to the new kernel. Well this is my grub.conf 
file. I am not sureat what I am looking at here. Could you please help?

[root@misfit grub]# cat grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
password --md5
title White Box Enterprise Linux (2.4.21-15.0.4.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21-15.0.4.EL.img
title White Box Enterprise Linux (2.4.21-15.0.3.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.0.3.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21-15.0.3.EL.img
title White Box Enterprise Linux (2.4.21-15.EL)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.EL ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.21-15.EL.img

If I have the right kernel that I want then do I just issue the 
following commands?

rpm -e kernel-2.4.21-15.EL
rpm -e kernel-2.4.21-15.0.3.EL

Thanks
Ganesh
