Hello,
A customer would like to downgrade kernel package to old one.
[ENVIRONMENT]
RHEL AS 4 update4
[SITUATION]
He has some trouble, so he has a plan to downgrade kernel package
and related package.
[QUESTION]
- Could you tell me how to downgrade kernel package ?
Is there any special method to downgrade kernel package ?
He has a plan to delete kernel package by using rpm -e command, and install old package simply.
To make sure, I attach the package list which is already installed, and downgrade list.
Thank you for advice.
Best Regards.

Don't remove the running kernel's package. This will cause you grief.
Install the older package, modify '/boot/grub/grub.conf' and change the 'devault=' line to point to the appropriate kernel instance (0-counted from the top).
Reboot.

Re: Regarding downgrade package
well, afaik, by default the older kernels do not get deleted, so they are still there. you can check which are installed by simply doing 'ls /boot'.
then when rebooting the machine grub will allow you to pick one of the previous kernels as well.

Re: Regarding downgrade package
This is true.
rpm -q kernel{,-smp}
will also show you all kernel & SMP kernel's currently installed..
