Hello guys,
I tried to update my kernel to the latest, as it was suggested (with a big red "at your own risks" label) by the update manager to 4.9.0.
I have an issue with it, that the 3.16.0 kernel had not.
I can go into the GRUB menu each time my box boots, but that gets old quickly...
Now that I did update it, how can I instruct GRUB to ignore the 4.9.0 without deleting the kernel ?
Is there a way to do it?
I've looked inside the script in /etc/grub.d/10_linux that generate the grub configuration, but could'nt see no way of blacklisting a kernel...
Also, rather than manually deleting the kernel and image files, does anyone knows how to remove the linux-headers-4.9.0* packages without removing the meta-package linux-headers-amd64 and keeping a working installation ?
I have to say I liked the previous versions of the upgrade manager way better in that regards.
It was nice to be able to specify the default booting kernel from a list.
Thanks.
Tripy.

Sorry i was wrong. I didon't see it was the LMDE section.

Use software manager to remove the newer kernel.
Grub reverts to the highest kernel number by default.

Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to do, but then the manager tells me that "linux-headers-amd64" will also be removed.all41 wrote:Use software manager to remove the newer kernel.

Isn't that a meta package containing all the kernels ?
Would I not end up with a system without any kernel ?

Thanks for the link.grumpy_geek wrote:"Re-Order Grub Boot Menu"
I already am using the "saved" grub entry, but would prefer to not resort to that.
