All, Troubleshooting xorg issues on my laptop, installing the kernel of the day (KOTD) was recommended. I know have 2 KOTD kernels installed on my box. I have zypper configured to allow multiversions of the kernel. I want to remove the latest KOTD kernel WITHOUT killing my system. Can I simply rpm -e the unwanted kernel to have it completely removed while preserving the remaining installed kernels and bootloader, etc.. My thought was to use: rpm -e kernel-default-devel-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.x86_64 \ kernel-desktop-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.x86_64 \ kernel-devel-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.noarch \ kernel-source-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.noarch \ kernel-syms-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.x86_64 \ kernel-xen-devel-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.x86_64 but want to make sure there are no "gotchas". I looked at yast-software management and was not comfortable at all with the level of control that provided for this removal, so rpm seems like the best option. When I remove the unwanted kernel, will that also removed the unwanted grub entry? I boot and use the normal 13.1 kernel from the oss/update repo, and test with the 3.15 KOTD kernel occasionally. The details of the kernel I want to remove, along with those that remain on the system are shown below: The kernel to remove is: kernel-desktop-3.16.1-7.1.g90bc0f1.x86_64 Source Timestamp: 2015-03-05 17:24:00 +0100 GIT Revision: 338c5133d4d302d15140c0a27d51e6d1c1b9ed3a GIT Branch: openSUSE-13.1 (along with the -devel, -source, -syms, etc...)
