OK when I do

rpm -qa | grep kernel

I get the following.

kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13
kernel-2.4.20-8
kernel-2.4.20-28.9
kernel-source-2.4.20-8

However, I want to remove "kernal-2.4.20-28.9" from the list by typing
rpm -e kernel-2.4.20-28.9.rpm

I get the follwoing error!!
error: package kernel-2.4.20-28.9.i386 is not installed

How do I remove this rpm from the list

Thanks

hi,
the correct command is
rpm -e kernel-2.4.20-28.9

rebuild the rpm's databse first:
# rpm --rebuilddb

and them, verify the kernel you want to remove still there. If is, them try to remove it now.
