Re: How to keep a particular kernel version?

Yes I could do that, thank you.
(However, it must be set to "keep" I think, not "0", according to man yum.conf).

You could change the installonly_limit in /etc/yum.conf.  If you set
it to 0, yum won't remove any kernels when a new one is installed.
You could then remove unwanted ones manually at your convenience.
