    It's mid-morning here.

    I wouldn't try to remove the other kernel. There may be a good reason that it's not booting the newer kernel, and you could make the system unbootable.

    Having multiple kernels doesn't hurt anything, unless you are tight for disk space. I would first try to boot the newer kernel, by selecting it from the list at boot. If it has trouble, just reboot again and select the older kernel. No harm done!

    Let's not break the system so soon after getting it to work!
