Hi,
The thread is very old. The problem I posted was that I had Three choices instead of just 2 during startup. After upgrading from fedora 13 to 14 I found that I have fedora 14 and Fedora 13, in addition to other (i have a win partition). A week ago i did a yum update, and i found an additional entry in the boat loader again. So now i'm doing finally the follow up. Here is the content of my /etc/grub.conf:
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,1) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root # initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=10 splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora (2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=fr rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.13-91.fc14.i686.PAE.img title Fedora (2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=fr rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE.img title Fedora (2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686.PAE) root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=fr rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.34.8-68.fc13.i686.PAE.img title Other rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
Thank you
When you upgraded from F13 to F14 the upgrade left a F13 kernel. (Think of it as a precaution.)
Here is a simple way to remove that extra kernel without editing skills or usage of a gui:
1. Boot F14.
2. If in Gnome or KDE or other desktop open a terminal.
3. Do "yum list kernel* "
4. Remove undesired installed kernel via "sudo yum remove kernel_____ "
Yum/rpm will take care of/remove the grub entry.
