For now you should be fine with that config reduction to 2 kernels, but in the
long run, it may be best to gain some understanding of what you have, so better to
avoid more unexpected trouble as the system further evolves.

Output from:

	cat /etc/fstab
	parted -l	and/or	fdisk -l
	lsblk -f

would enable us to understand your configuration and enable recommendations to be
made if indicated, before you get caught in an inextricable bind.
