    Hi,

    I think you can edit that through nano or gedit.

    HTML Code:
    su

nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

OR
su

gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
    Hope this is what your looking for.

    You have to un-install older version of kernel.
    Execute this
    Code:
    su -
rpm -q kernel
    It will list all installed kernel versions.
    Execute this to remove older kernel.
    Code:
    rpm -e kernel-<version>
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
