Hi
This is a follow on to the thread in Virtualisation and the upgrade to kernel 5.8 meaning that VirtualBox didn’t work (although it’s fixed now)
I posted that it was possible to edit
/etc/zypp/zypp.conf
and put an entry like
# multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running
multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,latest-2,5.7.11-1,running
And although I had kernel 5.7.11-1 at the time I made that entry, it has now gone
but I do have several 5.8 kernels, so it has kept latest, latest-1,latest-3 but the one I specifically wanted to keep (5.7.11-1) was removed
And it’s not just the files in /boot that I’d carefully made a tgz of
/boot/config-5.7.11-1-default
/boot/initrd-5.7.11-1-default
/boot/symtypes-5.7.11-1-default.gz
/boot/symvers-5.7.11-1-default.gz
/boot/sysctl.conf-5.7.11-1-default
/boot/System.map-5.7.11-1-default
/boot/vmlinux-5.7.11-1-default.xz
/boot/vmlinuz-5.7.11-1-default
but obviously when zypper dup removed 5.7.11-1 it also removed all the relevant files from /usr/src/ too
(which I very stupidly did not think to make a copy of - oops)
I was following the instructions on
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha-tuning-multikernel.html
section 6.1.4
So theoretically it should have worked unless it really, really should say that I need to specify
5.7.11-1-default
In which case the documentation should probably be changed?
Any thoughts?
