If you do want to change that behavior, the setting is in
/etc/sysconfig/kernel :
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
That's how I have mine set, and it still updates to default=1. Also, I
see:
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-xen
I don't want the xen kernel to be the default, just kernel. Should I say:
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel instead?
