I just noticed that when I do an update that
includes a kernel the 2nd
older kernel is uninstalled.
For example, right now the new one being installed
is 1996 and the one
it is replacing is 1977. The update is uninstalling
the 1969 kernel for
me.
Is that deliberate?
I assume so, but want to be able to NOT have it
happen if I choose to
keep the older kernels for whatever reason.
This policy only keeps 2 kernel versions around, and
can break a system
if the latest (before the update) had problems for a
user and an earlier
version is in use.
How do I turn that off?
How would I change the number of older kernels to
keep around?
On a similar note, I received help from Jeff Spaleta
on this list to help me keep the original kernel so
that I could connect to internet. Thread " Re: tell
yum not to remove original kernel"
{I use smartlink winmodem with slmodemd, for some
reason or another newer kernels do not work with
slmodemd and slmodem-2.9.11-20051101.tar.gz from
linmodems.org]
He instructed me to do the following:
disable the installonlyn plugin
edit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf
enabled=0
It worked for me. So I do not see why it should not
work out for you.
Best Regards,
Antonio
