What's the best way to roll back to a previous kernel? The current
2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 is causing one of my servers to lock up once every 24
hours, something that did not happen with the previous kernel (2933). If I
simply try to install 2933 right now, it tells me there are two files that
conflict with the current installation of 2944:
file /usr/include/linux/eventpoll.h from install of
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 conflicts with file from package
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
file /usr/include/linux/if_packet.h from install of
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 conflicts with file from package
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
Can I ignore those errors and force the installation, fix grub.conf and
reboot (then remove 2944) ?
If you have a known good kernel installed, change grub to use it as the
default and then reboot.
You only need to have one copy of kernel-headers installed. You may have
to remove the new one and then install the old one.
