Linux Mint Forums

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.

Yeah, that's what I wanted to do, but then the manager tells me that "linux-headers-amd64" will also be removed.
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.
I already am using the "saved" grub entry, but would prefer to not resort to that.
