Very simple approach: Increase the limit. I always bump mine up to about 6. I could easily install some kernel, and not encounter a bug in in for quite some time. Likewise with a prior kernel. Having more to backtrack through gives you more debugging options. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1062.4.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Oct 18 17:15:30 UTC 2019 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
