Hi,
The thread is very old. The problem I posted was that I had Three choices
instead of just 2 during startup. After upgrading from fedora 13 to 14 I found
that I have fedora 14 and Fedora 13, in addition to other (i have a win
partition). A week ago i did a yum update, and i found an additional entry in
the boat loader again. So now i'm doing finally the follow up. Here is the
content of my /etc/grub.conf:

Thank you
When you upgraded from F13 to F14 the upgrade left a F13 kernel.
(Think of it as a precaution.)
Here is a simple way to remove that extra kernel without editing
skills or usage of a gui:
1. Boot F14.
2. If in Gnome or KDE or other desktop open a terminal.
3. Do "yum list kernel* "
4. Remove undesired installed kernel via "sudo yum remove kernel_____ "
Yum/rpm will take care of/remove the grub entry.
