I did not suspect that the issue was with yum itself since I had not made any explicit configuration changes to it in over a year and three versions of Fedora. My assumption was that it was a grub or rpm issue or possibly a kernel configuration issue and the man pages for these did not show any indication for the change in behavior. This brings up another question, why is installonly_limit set to 3 in my yum.conf file when the manpage for yum.conf states that the default is 0 (disable). As I stated above, I have not changed any settings in yum.conf. This indicates that there is a discrepancy between the manpages and the actual behavior. After reading your response to my post, I did another Google search on this issue. Even after adding the keyword yum to my search, I did not come up with a single hit that mentioned that yum did the deletion of the older kernels or of the installonly_limit parameter in yum.conf. I humbly ask what key words you would have used in your search for this information, especially assuming that you did not suspect yum in the first place? BTW. All the Google hits that I read that included yum as a keyword were asking or responding to how to manually remove older kernels after yum installed a newer kernel. --
