Precisely. And, it is my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong), that |
12 |
simply keeping your old kernel/initramfs around is NOT a guarantee (it |
13 |
might work - and it might NOT) of being able to fallback to a known |
14 |
working config until you figure it out. |

THAT, in a nutshell, is why my intention is to NEVER let one of those |

things on my systems. |
