Can someone tell me how to remove old kernels, I have about 5 old kernels and only use one (the most recent one)..There are two places that you have to visit .
1. the /boot directory
In here you will find a set of three files for each kernel version that you have installed for example
initrd-2.6.17.8.img
System.map-2.6.17.8
vmlinuz-2.6.17.8
If you wish to remove the 2.6.17.8 kernel then you will have to remove the above three files .
Beware of one thing here
There is a symbolic link for System.map
You will have to make sure that it doesn't point in our
example to System.map-2.6.17.8
Also there is a symbolic link for vmlinuz , so again you will have to pay attention that it doesn't point to the file you want to delete .
After you clean the above set of 3 files from the boot directory ( initrd,System.map,vmlinuz) you have to go to the /lib/modules/ directory
There is the location that the kernel modules are stored .
Delete all the directories that corespond to the kernels that you don't want to keep .
HTH,
Kostas
