My reboot times are regular, (still on F12 on this machine) but I always copy the kernel files into a subdir 'tmp-backups' so I can get them back if needed, even if yum deletes them.
Huh, ok... What do you do with *just* the kernel? Let me know how that works if you ever want to boot from it? Possibly the rpm might make more sense?
A long time ago now. Maybe I was falling back to a previous kernel version that had not been uninstalled by yum, or was it YaST on SuSE Linux?
Perhaps keeping the rpm for a kernel that you know works, tucked away on the system would be a good move?
Also, if you downgrade the kernel version, would this have any effect on other packages on the system?
Kind Regards,
