The mainline kernel works beautifully, thanks! :-)
Now the only question is how does it coexist with the regular kernels? More precisely, when I do a "yum update", and there are new kernels available in the update, how will they be ordered in /boot/grub/grub.conf, and which one will be the default on a subsequent boot?
I have enabled the elrepo-kernel repository, so both types of kernels will get updates. However, I want to boot only from the mainline kernels, never from the regular ones. How should I configure grub and/or yum, to make this stick?
The 2 kernels will coexist peacefully. If you modify /boot/grub/menu.lst to boot the elrepo kernel-ml it will remember to boot the same kernel next time, after an update.
Thanks for the info! I have already modified it to boot the ml kernel by default, but I was worried since the first installation of the ml kernel has left the original kernel as a default. But at this point, if yum will always do the Right Thing and make the current default stick to ml, then the issue is solved. :-)
Thanks again!
Best, :-) Marko
