Is it safe to do that? It's safe to remove kernels that you aren't running. This is why yum *installs* rather than *updates* kernel packages. After booting using the new kernel, you can remove the old one. e.g. # rpm -q kernel kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 kernel-2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 # uname -r 2.6.12-1.1387_FC4 The "uname" command above shows which kernel you are currently running. You can safely remove any other kernel, e.g. # rpm -e kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 This will remove that version of the kernel, all of its modules, and the associated entry from your bootloader configuration file (usually grub).
