For example after a kernel update I have problems with encrypted filesystems, or the sound stopped to work, .... Yes, I know that it is possible to change the behaviour to keep the old kernel but why not to be default. + Discussion: + #1: Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) (2009-09-19 08:36:55) + There is already a way to do this: + Edit the file /etc/zypp/zypp.conf + Demark the line with this option (add all installed kernel-* packages): +   + multiversion = kernel-default,kernel-smp +   + Finish! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306971

As soon as you set this you risk to fill up /boot and by this you might cause trouble too. As feature is needed to keep the last known working kernel (like 309205). Therefore +/-0 for this one. + #3: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) (2010-11-01 10:30:54) + See also: + # for Ubuntu: last-good-boot + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels) + # other openFATE Treads: + ## #310665: Keep the current kernel when doing a kernel update through + yast https://features.opensuse.org/310665 + ## (And #310665: Keep the current kernel when doing a kernel update + through yast https://features.opensuse.org/309205 - See comment above) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306971

Setting it to 2 would keep the current and previous but allow more if desired. I prefer 3. -   Thank you, Lucky Leavell #3: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) (2010-11-01 10:30:54) See also: # for Ubuntu: last-good-boot https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/removing-old-kernels) # other openFATE Treads: ## #310665: Keep the current kernel when doing a kernel update through yast https://features.opensuse.org/310665 ## (And #310665: Keep the current kernel when doing a kernel update through yast https://features.opensuse.org/309205 - See comment above) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306971
