Booting from a previous kernel

Because of Bug 1181014](https://forums.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1181014), in kernel 5.3.18-lp152.60-default, which neutered my Logitech webcam microphone, I set my system to boot with the previous kernel, 5.3.18-lp152.57-default. When the fixed kernel is released, will its installation override the setting I made in the bootloader section in Yast?

TIA

Hi
It should not, now in saying that you might want to ensure it doesn’t get removed… :wink: Edit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf to add the version, for example, I’m on Tumbleweed and have a couple kept…


cat /etc/zypp/zypp.conf | grep multiversion.kernels

multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running,5.8.15-1,5.9.14-1

Thanks, Malcolm. When I run the command, I get this:

cat /etc/zypp/zypp.conf | grep multiversion.kernels 
**multiversion.kernels** = latest,latest-1,running



The entry ‘running’ would be 5.3.18-lp152.57-default. Will it suffice if I make no changes, or do I need to explicitly add 5.3.18-lp152.57-default?

to understand
**multiversion.kernels

**edit /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and read the the instructions near the multiversion.kernels line

OK, thanks. I will.

Hi
Yes, it would move latest-1, but if it takes a few cycles to fix your issue, then you would lose it… It should be 5.3.18-lp152.57.1 from the output of;


zypper se -si kernel-default
