"uname -a" shows the kernel currently running in some degree of gory
detail.
"ls /boot/vmlinuz*" shows versions that exist on the system.
Either "cat /etc/lilo.conf" or "cat /boot/grub/grub.conf" reports what
kernels are bootable. Select the command according to which boot method
is installed.
"rpm -qa|grep "kernel-[2s][\.m]" will, I believe, reveal which kernels
are currently loaded on the system from RPMs.
Pick your recipe.
