second boot option is gone after last update

MikeK61

As the title says after the last update my second boot option with older kernel is gone.
I only can boot in the actual kernel.
I assume it has to do with the firmware update ?
Can i reinstall an older kernel manually or get the last one back

MikeK61 you can try and rollback the update Help Article or change the default boot kernel as described here
What kernel are you using, LTS or Current? LTS was recently updated and announced on the forums.

Show: eopkg info linux-lts | head -n2; uname -a

there's a current kernel using linux 6.0 and a LTS kernel using linux 5.15, if you are in the "current" kernel try installing linux-lts, it may help you.

Im on the current kernel 6.0.11. The second was 6.0.10 Im fine with the 6 version.
Just wondering why the second is gone ???

MikeK61 The old kernel version is only kept by clr-boot-manager as a backup in case the new version doesn't boot. Consequently it is removed after a number of consecutive successful system boot procedures with the new kernel.

If you want another backup option you can either also install the linux-lts kernel, or add one manually (the latter would be much more involved though)

Thanks for the reply Staudey.
I think it is much easier just to use my older copy of Solus on USB Stick as backup.
It contains Kernel 6.0.10 and the last 5.15 Kernel.

Do you need 6.0.10 specifically for some reason?
