The latest version is chosen, so your "custom" kernel needs to have a higher version than the one available in the official Fedora repositories. It can be either really be newer or if I'm not mistaking have a higher Epoch which is more important than the version. A workaround would be to create your own custom repository with all the required packages including that kernel, and then using only that repository. I create it like this from my local cache: mkdir -p /tmp/local-repo/packages ln -s /var/cache/dnf/*/packages/*.rpm /tmp/local-repo/packages/ createrepo_c -o /tmp/local-repo --skip-stat --changelog-limit 1 \ --compress-type gz --general-compress-type gz --checksum md5sum \ -g /var/cache/dnf/fedora-d02ca361e1b58501/repodata/gen/groups.xml \ /tmp/local-repo Hope this helps, Cristian Ciupitu ___ livecd mailing list -- livecd@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to livecd-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org

I guess I was not clear earlier (sorry). I think that I have to add a repo such as: repo --name=kernel-vanilla-stable --baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla-stable/fedora-$releasever/$basearch/ This will possibly bring in the latest kernel, etc from https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/thl/kernel-vanilla-stable/fedora-24/x86_64/ My question is: how does the livecd know to install/use this kernel as opposed to the Fedora distribution stock kernel?

Create a custom kernel RPM, put it in a custom repository and use that repository to create the live CD. ___ livecd mailing list -- livecd@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to livecd-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
