Mine was at 8, now it is at 18, so as long as I keep track I won't lose my important kernels. That wasn't my question. My question is how to protect 2
kernels from being erased.


20+ years of experience, some of it bitter experience, suggest creating an image of your system on a different disk as a means of saving the older kernels is your best approach. In the past I have discovered older kernels will not work with newer kernel utilities. Once this seems to have precluded booting with the older kernels - one rev back. So taking an image backup is the approach I use if going back is important. I've also found it generally is not important and when it is the older kernels don't work (either).

I'll do that.  (I have one already, rsync updated at Fedora upgrade
time, as well as data backups.)  I'm hoping that the Intel video will
be fixed soon, but who knows?
