After updating the kernel, I am forced now to use the previous kernel

than installed alongside its fellow kernel's module. Since the kernel
version is no longer part of the name (I guess in accordance with
extras?), yum considers them the same package, and so deletes the old
one. I'd like to keep all my kernel modules (for ntfs, nvidia, ati,
madwifi, ndiswrapper, etc) for old kernels around, because some of
them provide very useful functionality, and as in this case, I may not
be able to use the new kernel for a while.
Have you tried the installonlypkgs option in yum.conf? man yum.conf
says:
installonlypkgs
List of packages that should only ever be installed, never
updated. Kernels in particular fall into this category.
Defaults to ‘kernel, kernel-smp, kernel-bigmem,
kernel-enterprise, kernel-debug, kernel-unsupported’.
Hope this helps,
James.
