any way to change this, like is done in other distros, as this sort
of
functionality annoys me, from the point of view that I have often
been
in the situation where my system refused to boot from a new kernel
because of a kernel panic, so I had to fall back to the previous
kernel
to boot so I could then remove the new kernel and wait for a further
kernel update to fix the issues. I would like to make the decision of
how many kernels I want to keep rather than the distro forcing what I
can do.
I have three kernels installed (current, previous and previous
previous :-) which I think is the default with yum though it can be
changed by editing installonly_limit in /etc/yum.conf. If smartpm says
that kernels can't coexist it's clearly wrong.
