    Kernels After Upgrade FC.10 to FC.11

    i had virtual box in my fc.10 machine. after upgrading and updating i have two kernels now as
    Code:
    kernel-headers-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586
kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586
kerneloops-0.12-5.fc11.i586
kernel-firmware-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.noarch
kernel-2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586
kernel-devel-2.6.27.35-170.2.94.fc10.i686
    i wanted to remove
    kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i586
    but
    Code:
    rpm -e kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11.
    gives msg:
    Code:
    error: Failed dependencies:
	kernel-uname-r = 2.6.27.35-170.2.94.fc10.i686 is needed by (installed) kmod-VirtualBox-OSE-2.6.27.35-170.2.94.fc10.i686-2.1.4-2.fc10.12.i686
    this is obviously because VirtualBox-OSE use that.
    how can i remove kernel-2.6.29.4-167.fc11?
    or should i leave as it is?
    Sorry, it was unintentional.
    You should have told me at least once and i could have fix it.
    thanks for reminding me.

    Try using yum
    Code:
    yum remove anypackage

    ok even if this removes old kernel, will virtualbox work?
    but the error msg is same as above.

    One possible solution is to uninstall all old kernels and their dependencies. If virtualbox is uninstalled in the process, you could then install a newer version of virtualbox that will also install a module that works with the new kernel.
