Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst will make the choice disappear from your menu when you boot.

If you really want to get rid of (an older) kernel version you can look at the entry you've commented out (or deleted) from 
/boot/grub/menu.lst and delete the vmlinuz file from wherever you've got the binaries stashed (often in /boot).
	good luck,
