I want to install and lock every possible kernel package relating to 5.13.6-1-pae that can be recommended.
sudo zypper al kernel-pae*
will keep 5.13.6 from being removed, and prevent zypper and yast from attempting to install any other kernel-pae version.
The faulty (for this machine) 5.12.13-1-pae kernel is currently listed as an option in the bootmenu though. Using the above suggested command "sudo zypper al kernel-pae*" seems like it might lock 5.12.13-1-pae also? If the machine is currently booted/operating under the 5.13.6-1-pae then does "zypper al kernel-pae*" only lock that specific operating kernel instance (this may be what you are pointing out). How can I find the exact specific package name for the 5.13.6-1-pae kernel ?
5. I believe I do not need to uninstall the 5.11.16-1.1.ge06d321 kernel just unlock all 6 of the currently locked packages: -> 1.the kernel-default-base 2.kernel-default-base-rebuild 3.kernel-default-devel 4.kernel-default 5.kernel-devel 6.kernel-source Good plan. At some point you'll decide to remove the lock and upgrade kernel again. Once that's done, subject to any policy alteration to multiversion.kernels= in in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf, purge-kernels service will remove 5.11.16.
I believe the purge-kernels service is active by default right? Currently here multiversion.kernels line 554: 1 multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running Would you have any further suggestions or even a potential to keep 4 of the past kernels instead of only 3? Thanks for your prompt and decisive response to this situation. :]
