I want to do a downgrade from openVZ kernel 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1 to 2.6.9-023stab043.2 on my RedHat/Centos machine. How can I do this? Crying or Very Sad

Thanks a lot. Laughing

Hello,

Well just install 2.6.9-023stab043.2 kernel by rpm and then modify /boot/grub/grub.conf file, so that 2.6.9-023stab043.2 kernel will be the default.

Thanks,
Vasily

Hi Vasily,

thank you for the answer,
when I do a "rpm -qa |grep ovz" I will get:
ovzkernel-PAE-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1
ovzkernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1

When I do a "rpm -ihv ovzkernel-2.6.9-023stab043.2.i686.rpm
" after downloading it by wget I will get a

package ovzkernel-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.028stab035.1 (which is newer than ovzkernel-2.6.9-023stab043.2) is already installed

So what do I have to do to install it? Delete the old first? I installed the old (which is the newer one Smile
