Removing custom kernel.

Hello.

How can I completely remove a custom kernel I compiled?

Build a new, different, kernel. Install it over the unwanted one. Then delete the unwanted kernel config file.

If you want generic back simply run the same command you used for making your custom kernel without the variables. generic is default.

Or simpler: if this was your first kernel build, the previous one (that came with the installation) should still be in /boot/kernel.old. Removing /boot/kernel and renaming /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel should restore the old situation. This is assuming you did not update your sources and world too. Then you have to build a new GENERIC kernel to match those.

Can I recompile again my custom kernel, while it is running?
