Mike, rpm -e for the 2149 kernel only deleted the entries in /boot. /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptl and /usr/src/linux-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl are still existent. Note that rpm -qa kernel doesn't list 2149 anymore however. So, I couldn't see any harm in just manually deleting these directories? Thanks

You have to do the same for the kernel-source-<version>
And for a full cleanup also for the kernel-doc-<version>
This is assuming you have both the above installed.

Manually deleting will not clean up the rpm database

use " rpm -qa | grep kernel " to see exactly which kernel packages are installed.
