Adding another boot?

[Gsurge]

On Redhat when i got done with the first boot and did updates, i rebooted and on my dual boot grub i saw two linuxes with my windows xp

RedHat 2.4.20-18.9
and
Redhat 2.4.20-8

I've been using the top one since i think its a more updated one.

Why is it doing this and how do i remove the bottom one?

It does this incase the new one does not work so you can quickly and easily fall back to the original kernel.

After you've determined that the new one works good, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove the lines that refer to that kernel.

or

remove the old kernel completely
rpm -e kernel-2.4.20-8

I think that is the correct rpm package, verify it with "rpm -qa|grep kernel" and use it's disription with the removale.

As mahdi posted, I would suggest you keep the old kernel just in case you ever have problems with the new.

It won't hurt to keep the old kernel and doesn't take up that much space.
