A few days ago yast did update my computer to a new kernel-desktop 2.6.31.12-0.1.1.
My mainboard is an ASUS P4P800-VM with Intel ICH5 chipset. This new kernel is not able, to poweroff my computer. Older kernels were able to poweroff the computer.
How can I roll back to the older kernel? Yast does only offer the recent kernel.
In /boot there are only files of the recent kernel.
ASUS P4P800
Intel Pentium 4 HT, 3000 MHz, Frontside 800 MHz/Cache 1 MB
3 GB Ram
AGP nVidia 7600GS/512 MB, nVidia driver 190.53, installed from yast.
PCI WLan TP-Link 951N (Atheros chipset, WLan N, driver ath9 was automatically installed)
did work, my machine does poweroff again. I now did tell yast2, that kernel-desktop 2.6.31.8 should be kept for the future. Will yast2 offer new kernels, which could be released in the future? Could it be, that future releases of (graphik)-drivers might not be able to install at an older kernel?
A fix for the shutdown issue should be on the way.
You can set a lock on the installed kernel via yast, but then any newer version will not be offered.
Just have a little patience and take a manual look at the kernel package for the next days
Search the forums for “multiversion”; when applied the system will not update/replace the current kernel, but install the new kernel alongside the older one. Both will appear in GRUB.
This could be a workaroung for many new users that don’t know how to handle a kernel update, they would have the old kernel to fall back to.
