Hi John,
I'll add a bit more to what I stated above re doing something so as not to clobber the 4.11 or 4.12 kernel from /repo/Kernel:/stable....
If you are using zypper to update your oS or even use Yast itself, both or either will try and re-install the original installed kernel ie, 4.4.x because in all probability it is marked as being installed in Yast's Version information. You will see what I mean if you:
* start Yast * search for 'kernel' and you will see a number of entries with 'kernel' in them * highlight each one (by clicking on each one) and then select VERSION * you may see that kernel 4.4.x is still ticked as being installed even though 4.11/4.12 is also shown as installed
and this last item is what will make zypper or Yast try an re-install 4.4.x kernel.
Nevertheless, grub will boot the most recent kernel by default, no matter if the original is still installed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
