Hi !
As a good sys admin, i'm upgrading my servers using Yast2 (by hand for the moment). The last upgrade installed me the kernel release 286 (2.4.21-286). Some of the applications running on this servers doesn't support this new kernel. I would like to know the best way to downgrade the kernel ?? For the moment I'm thinking of removing the current installed kernel (ie. rpm -ev k_smp-2.4.21-286). And then doing an online upgrade to choose the kernel I want. Will this method work or do you have a better one ?
cd to /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/i386/update/9.2/rpm/i586 and you should find all of the kernel versions previously installed via YOU. You can install a previous version with rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <name of rpm>. Be sure to install the old sources as well -IF- you have them installed as well. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
