This seems much better, yes (and, yes, you got most of my point).
My only minor concern is "You are running kernel..." which I'd be
incline to reword as "This machine is running kernel...". The
rationale being that *I* am not running anything indeed (at least not
kernels..:-)) and the machine is maybe not "mine". That is anyway much
less important than the original issue, though.

Yes, absolutely. I should maybe have left more context:
You are running kernel version ${running}, and the current action
requires removing the same version.
.
This can make the system unbootable as it will remove
/boot/vmlinuz-${running} and all modules under the directory
/lib/modules/${running}. This can only be fixed with a copy of the
kernel image and the corresponding modules.
.
It is highly recommended to abort the kernel removal unless you are
prepared to fix the system after removal.
