Simplistic solution, set yum to keep something like 5, or more, kernels. So that it's so long before it automatically removes one, that you've still got the one that you want. And that gives you much more time to see whether any new kernels do work adequately. You can manually remove in-between versions. I do that, for all installs. I've had kernel problems in the past, and I want to ensure that I've got plenty of fallbacks to try out. Sometimes you don't notice a problem with a new kernal for quite some time. However, I think you could list the exact version that you want to exclude. The yum.conf man file, for older releases, at least, mentions that wildcarding is *allowed*, it doesn't say wildcarding has to be used. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
