is there a way to freeze the kernel at the upgrade prozess ? If updates are provided allways the latest patch level will be installed. We need a dedicated kernel. Can I pass this information, too ?
Manage your own repos and don't put newer kernels than the one you want into said repo.
We do this, more or less. We manage our own repos because we need consistency between hosts, and we need to be able to test that updates don't break things (we just had a tools break on a kernel update in the last weeks). Then we periodically (usually as needed for bugfixes or security patches) sync updates from our SMT repos into the repos our hosts use, then have hosts patch up on reboot. The idea being that a newly jumped host and a rebooted host will have the same installed rpms/version.
