Test kernel downloaded by mistake
Alright. I ran yum update on my server just for fun and apparently a openVZ test kernel has been downloaded. The kernel name is 042stab111.11(shown below in grub.conf)
uname -r shows that the server is still running the stable kernel "2.6.32-042stab108.8"
Now I need to restart my server but something tells me it will not boot into correct kernel. Here is my grub.conf file. How do I get rid of the this testing kernel? Please help

Do you have control over the host? If yes, you may vzctl enter that vm to manually modify the grub configuration files, otherwise, you may need to contact the host provider.
Well I went ahead and restarted the server and it turned on fine. The test kernel seems to work.
