[Bug 1222940] Feature Request: New YaST module for kernel management
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222940 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1222940#c2 --- Comment #2 from Stefan Hundhammer <shundhammer@suse.com> --- Kernel packages are some of the very few multi-version packages that we provide. You can select more than one in the YaST software module; see the "Versions" tab in the lower right of the screen. Of course, that will only get you an additional kernel on the machine. You'll also have to make decisions like which of them to boot by default. And that is where some manual interaction with config files will become necessary. But other aspects are handled automatically, like dependency resolution, i.e. what additional kernel packages you need for that particular kernel base package. Kernel packages have very specific RPM dependencies based on SHAs (or similar) to ensure that you'll always get the matching packages. Dracut will handle building an initrd for every installed kernel, and Grub2 will add a boot menu entry for each one. So, what else are you missing? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
