• Kernel update choked but kernel.old backup works

    From The Doctor@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jul 3 16:29:41 2025
    Right, I just rebuilt a 14.3-R kernel, but one server did not
    restart saying kernel missing.

    I am rebuilding however how do I keep the kernel.old?

    I generally do
    cp kernel.old kernel.spare
    before installing. If things
    get really dicey I'll save more
    than one old kernel.

    There's a limit on name length,
    so one can't get too verbose. It's
    ok to use four characters after the
    dot, but IIRC six won't work.

    hope this helps,
