The default kernel in LL 3.4 is the 4.4 family. Just for the heck of it, I installed a much later kernel (4.11.0) and it's my default boot kernel. It works fine so far.
Issue comes with updates - I'm seeing updates to the 4.4 kernel family, but nothing for the 4.11 family (and there have been updates to it, per the news page at lwn.net). Also, the kernel removal tool only sees the kernels that LL knows about. Removing the 4.11 kernel is not provided as an option.
Can this be fixed? If I wanted to remove the 4.11 kernel and go back to the 4.4 series as default, what needs to be done?
