Steve,
Thanks for the reference to bug 470490. I edited the menu.lst file as
you suggested and now the unwanted kernel is no longer in my boot menu.
However, when I installed the updates today with update manager it tried
to update the kernel that I just edited out of the menu.lst file (kernel
2.6.31.5). The update manager returned an error "exit status 2" on
trying to update kernel 2.6.31.5. Is there a way to remove this kernel
from the system completely?
