Fedora 10 GRUB
A few days ago I installed fedora 10 as a dualboot, with Vista on the primary partition. during boot, grub showed only "Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)" and "Other", which would be the Vista partition.

last night I ran fedora's system update, updates were found and installed.
When I go to boot today, I'm presented with a new boot option- another Fedora labelled as "Fedora (2.6.27.21-170.2.56.fc10.i686)," which I booted into, and everything seems to run just fine.
So what's up with the older fedora option? Should I have booted into that one instead? If i'm fine with the newer one, can I remove the older entry and, if so, how?

It updated to a new kernel and left the old one as a
second boot option.
You can probably uninstall the old kernel with the package
manager,but it wouldn't hurt to have a second boot option
in case of problems.

hm. well, it doesn't show the old kernel in the package mannager, just the newer one.

Ohwell, if it isn't hurting anything, I guess I'll leave it.

Thanks

Hi,

Please type rpm -qa | grep kernel in terminal

It'll display two kernel (both updated and backdated)

Now remove the extra kernel inputting command as su -c'rpm -e kernel 2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686'

Also remove the previous kernel headers and img.

That's all.

Reboot/Restart Unit and access system within the latest applied kernel.

Good Luck..
