I'm guessing this is an easy one, but I can't seem to figure out how to ask Google right. I just set up a dual boot Windows XP / Fedora 8 system. I downloaded Fedora Core 8 i386 from the website. When installing, I modified the partition table to have a /home and a /share, but that's the only changes I thought I made. Everything seems to work fine now, except when I go to the menu that allows me to select what to boot into, I was expecting to find only XP (which was Other, until I changed it in grub) and one Fedora option; I instead have two Fedora options, listed as: Fedora 2.6.24.4-64.fc8 Fedora 2.6.23.1-43.fc8 Why?
Just out of curiosity, did you do a 'yum update' at some point on the reboot? Normally that's how you get more than one kernel option listed. I think (someone clarify this if I'm wrong) the default yum update option for kernels keeps the 2 most recent ones in /boot (and grub) in case the latest kernel doesn't work on your hardware for some reason.
