Issue
I just installed this kernel manually kernel-3.10.26. But I am not able to remove it as it's not getting listed with yum or rpm. How do I remove this kernel permanently??? I followed the following steps for installing this kernel:
- Untarred the tar.bz2 file downloaded from kernel.org
- added a value to EXTRAVERSION = in the Makefile
- make gconfig (to create the .config file)
- make -j4
- make modules_install
- make install
- reboot
OS Platform is Scientific Linux 6.5. I can boot into this kernel but I want to remove it now. How do I do it ?
Solution
Delete *3.10.26* from /boot. This is what got installed. Delete /lib/modules/*3.10.36* as well. This is what got modules_installed. Run update-grub afterwards.
Note: before deleting, do an echo with the paths that I gave you to make sure they correspond to a single kernel and that is the kernel you want.
