Listmates,
How do I prevent Yast from deleting my working kernel when I do a kernel update? What do I need to copy or rename so I can restore a working config if Yast and/or the new kernel borks my system? I recall this discussion, but googling, I can't find the old posts. With all the recent YOU kernel update problems, I want to make sure I can get back to my old kernel and config. Thanks!
Until the powers that be realize that _problems_ with kernel updates _WILL_ occur the only solution I can think of is to manually download the kernel for your system from the update site which for 10.3 is:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/10.3/rpm
Install using rpm -ivh instead of rpm -Uvh. This will leave the previous kernel installed. You can also re-install an older kernel version this way.
That sucks. When did Yast stop saving the old kernel? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
