There are additional tools that you can use - add zypper lock to not install the broken version, disable the purge-kernels service to keep all kernels until your disk fills with them.
Thanks
Michal Thanks for that info, however, I might not become aware that an issue exists until AFTER then newer kernel is installed and I don't think locking kernel-default would be a good idea. I also would not want to add more manual effort to cleanup older kernels that are no longer needed. The default configuration keeps a couple of earlier kernels, however. Then even after the new kernel has been installed you can go back to the

Right but that does not address the issue where all the installed kernel versions are from the same X.Y version, which is why I will occasionally add a specific kernel to zypp.conf to make sure that it is kept. It does address the problem of keeping the previous version, whether it's the same X.Y version or not does not matter. When you find a

It DOES matter if it is the same X.Y version because if one does frequent TW updates they could easily end up with all the kernel versions they have installed being the same X.Y version which has the problem.
The version number is overrated - sometimes a problem is introduced by major version update, sometimes by stable release, sometimes by configuration change. If you missed the problem for long enough that the good kernel is gone with multiversion it's unlikely to be so critical that you would not be able to look for the older versions online. There is no guarantee that a kernel with different X.Y version would not have the problem - it depends very much on the specifics. Thanks Michal
