In case the still running kernel needed to load a module, it would fail. And imagine the new kernel doesn't work at all or some of its drivers don't work, e.g. your network driver. With rpm -ivh you keep the previous kernel packages installed as backup kernels. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/DfcF0iMVcrivHFQRAiCVAJ9M7h68rMLmWTd4ijtqAi/ML3tOhQCfT/ue I3wkLB2VWarqFIYRTQCSJFU= =mAPU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
