RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.3升级新内核后，开机grub里会有两个内核选项；删掉不需要的旧内核。
（温馨提示：如果是官方内核更新，可删除旧内核，只留一个。非官方更新的新内核，建议留着一个官方版本和一个最新版本；新内核有问题，可换回官方版本；）
1.查看当前系统使用的内核（别删错了）：
name -r
2.查找并显示当前系统有多少内核以及相关版本的文件：
rpm -qa | grep kernel
3.选择需要删除的内核以及相关文件
yum remove kernel-3.xxx.el7.x86_64
yum remove kernel-devel-3.xxx.el7.x86_64
或者
yum remove kernel-3.xxx.el7.x86_64 kernel-devel-3.xxx.el7.x86_64
4.重启后就可以看到,内核被删掉了,同时多余的启动项也自动被删掉了
(附：如果重启后旧内核选项还在，就进入/etc找到grub2.cfg（或者grub2-ef.cfg）删除里面的信息（开机时显示的信息）)
以下为真机测试：
