Once upon a time, Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger(a)gmail.com> said:
<nod> Just have yum drop a config file in there that protects
the kernel
rather than protecting the kernel if some other package chooses to protect
something else.
The magic "don't delete the running kernel" can't be done with just a
config file. Something has to detect which kernel version is running
and match it to an RPM, and then protect just that version of multiple
installed kernel RPMs.
I supposed you could do it external to yum/dnf with a boot-time script
that rewrites a config file to protect kernel-$(uname -r), but that may
not always work (it would have to handle things like kernel-PAE and
such).
