Feature changed by: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) Feature #306971, revision 6 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. 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! #2: Lars Müller (lmuelle) (2010-08-24 16:50:56) 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. + #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
