Feature changed by: Lars Müller (lmuelle)
Feature #306971, revision 5
  Title: keep the previous kernel after update process
   
  openSUSE-11.2: Unconfirmed
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Ioan Vancea (ionutvan)
   
Description:
  I would like to see that "feature" implemented default because after
  kernel updates many times there were a lot of issues and to change back
  to the previous version is not very easy for a novice user. 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.

  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!

+ Unfortunately this is not enough.
+ 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.
