The kernel obviously was there in /boot and it was removed and replaced. Back in 9.3 or so, when a kernel was replaced, it wasn't removed but used as a backup. That saved my buns more than once and I lament the change to replace and remove of the current versions.
I don't remember that behavior in 9.3. Plus, the binary in /boot might remain there, but that is not the whole kernel.
You should report on bugzilla your problem with the new kernel that the old hasn't, anyhow, so that the new one can be patched.
I submitted a bug report a long time ago on this along with a GPL's copy of the source code to the driver which compiled sucessfully with -25 but not on the others. The bug is still open and the manufacturer has other cards with 'higher priorities'. Their controller is super, their support leaves a lot to be desired.
Ah? Then it is a manufacturer driver, that doesn't compile, not a broken part in the kernel? In any case, if the new kernel broke it, I think you could submit a bugzilla against this new kernel breaking the driver. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
