It is safe.. but for extra safety, I always leave a couple older kernels on
just incase i need to boot back. I always keep original BOOT kernel, and then
my SMP+Bigmem (over 2 gigs of ram).. If you're multi proc or hyperthreaded, I
don't see any reason to keep the non-smp kernel.
But, I would save at least one last known working kernel while you use your
new one for a while.
