In the general config you can add a suffix. I |
10 |
use a two-letter extension that goes up with each |
11 |
installed version on the specific machine (never |
12 |
reached past 26**2 but I could go to three letters). |
13 |
|
14 |
That leaves you with bzImage-2.6.27.aa, bzImage-2.6.27.ab, |
15 |
bzImage-2.6.28.ac, etc. At that point you can either put |
16 |
them all into your menu.lst or just hack the command line |
17 |
in grub to get an older kernel. |

Q: How often do you really need to go back more than one |
20 |
kernel? |
21 |
|
22 |
If you have one especially clean, stable kernel for |
23 |
disaster recovery just name it "stable" and have |
24 |
two hard-wired entries for the vmlinuz and 'stable'. |
