There are 2 ways of doing this :
1. Open /boot/grub/menu.lst and go near the end of the file. Just comment
out the kernel (you can even comment out just the "title" part) you do not
require and the next time you boot, only the uncommented ones will be seen.
2. There is an option in /boot/grub/menu.lst named "howmany=<number>". Using
this option you can specify how many kernel entries you want to be seen in
the list.


Thanks,
Raseel
