Hello,
Will Fedora Core 5 stick with kernel 2.6.16 throughout it's lifetime? I'm interested in testing kernel 2.6.17 to see if Suspend yet works on my system because it doesn't yet. And if FC5 is going to have kernel 2.6.17, is it possible to modify yum so that it keeps in Grub, one copy of the latest 2.6.16 kernels, and one copy of the 2.6.17 kernels?

Nope. I'll be doing a .17 update this week. I've got a rebase ready, but want to make sure things like Xen work before it gets pushed out.
Hopefully it'll be ready mid to late week.

You can increase the number of kernels to keep in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/installonlyn.conf
It's not aware of versions however, but if you're booted into the latest 2.6.16 update, it'll keep that around (as it never deletes the currently running kernel).

I've got a few more diffs to get in, then sit back and wait a few hours for a build. If that survives a quick boot test on my boxes, I'll push it out as an updates-testing tonight/tomorrow.
At that point, the more people jumping on it the better.

One good thing about Fedora core is major version update!
