To stop the kernel updating in normal dist-upgrade
Code:
apt-get remove linux-headers-2.6-sidux-686 linux-image-2.6-sidux-686
:: query version of Current available slh-kernel:
Code:
$ apt-cache search linux-image-2.6.24.2 ::
UPDATE: HOLD may in fact be preferred way::
Code:
# echo linux-headers-2.6-sidux-686 hold|dpkg --set-selections
# echo linux-image-2.6-sidux-686 hold|dpkg --set-selections
Rationale: apt-get will keep telling about about the new, held back, kernels..[slh]
*(for 64-bit use amd64 instead of 686)*
*:: dont forget to look at holding modules::* |

smxi as of yesterday has automated this, for all users with kernel metapackages installed, they will see a one time question asking if they want to keep, or remove the metapackages. This option is also available after the first time by starting smxi with -N, or via the post du fixes option list, kernel install, advanced kernel options.
You can also choose to install metapackages, which sets smxi to use that default, and skip the pre du kernel install item always, until you reset it via that option page.
Selecting keep will keep things as they are, remove will switch the system over to using user activated kernel install.
I didn't bother with hold item because these packages are really small, and it's fairly trivial to install/remove them.
Coming: module installer, one by one, option item for kernel install/metapackage install. |

etorix,
if a module (or modules) are installed with meta-package, these meta for modules also need
to be on hold, otherwise it wants to install the newest linux-image file. |
