I  did all of that Dave.  Actually, I did the above for Kernel #16, as a
test. Upon re-booting the pesky #16 was still there.  So I re-booted and
selected #16 and got the error message: "file not found". I have tried
all the remedies suggested by the other members but nothing seems to get
rid of the long list of Kernels at start-up.

Not that it's all that important really.  It's just a matter of
aesthetics.  And the frustration at trying to fix something that should
be quite easy
