I'm using Fedora 24. Whenever I update the kernel, Fedora saves the two previous entries as backups, in case something goes wrong with the update.
I want to try to compile the kernel on my own (I want to enable ipv6 subtrees), and I would like the newly compiled kernel to be in a separate entry, not overwriting any of the fedora entries.
I tried to make five entries by setting installonly_limit=5 in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf, and I upgraded the kernel, but on reboot I still only see 3 entries, not 5. (Actually there are 6, 3 Fedora, 1 fedora recovery(?) and 2 windows. But I would like 5 for Fedora.)
Do I need to change anything else? Will compiling a new kernel overwrite any previous entries or will it just add an entry?
