[rhelv6-list] Install an older kernel

[Musayev, Ilya]

John,

I was under impression major releases is a problem, minor should be OK. I think I need to test it.

Thanks for the response,

Regards
ilya

Speaking of downgrades, can you downgrade the entire system to an older state? Example, I'm running 5.7 stock ISO install. After sometime, I've upgraded to 5.7 latest RPMs using my local yum, for some reason - something did not go well, can I downgrade everything to stock ISO 5.7? Can I go lower from 5.7 to 5.4?

Unless there's something I've missed completely: no.

Individual RPMs often can have their older version installed, but that's not true in general.   You're more likely to be able to downgrade within a release, but across releases, that's less likely.
