I was able to workaround this by uninstalling all installed kernels: ~~~ $ sudo dnf remove kernel\* --setopt=protect_running_kernel=false ~~~ But this is less then desirable workaround. This is the DNF version in question: ~~~ $ rpm -q dnf5 dnf5-5.0.15-3.fc39.x86_64 ~~~ PR with fix: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/pull/723 Tests: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/ci-dnf-stack/pull/1337 This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle. Changing version to 39. |
I have following kernel installed: ~~~ $ rpm -qa kernel* kernel-modules-core-6.5.0-0.rc0.20230705gitd528014517f2.10.fc39.x86_64 kernel-core-6.5.0-0.rc0.20230705gitd528014517f2.10.fc39.x86_64 kernel-modules-6.5.0-0.rc0.20230705gitd528014517f2.10.fc39.x86_64 kernel-6.5.0-0.rc0.20230705gitd528014517f2.10.fc39.x86_64 ~~~ and I suspect it has some issues with networking, therefore I'd like to install older version, but it does not look to be possible. The most obvious way does not work: ~~~ $ sudo dnf downgrade --enablerepo=updates{,-testing} kernel\* --releasever 38 Updating and loading repositories: Repositories loaded.
