That would be a bad idea. There is the lts kernel. What is your actual problem, and why do you think an outdated kernel would be the solution?

Mod note: moved to NC.

Beh... when a kernel seem work i would like to "storicize" for some time. I could copy kernel in /boot and put specific grub.cfg lines into 40_custom before upgrading to new major release kernel. For curiosity exist a batch do it?

But also see

If nothing is wrong, why would you want to do something that has a high likelihood of making something go wrong? If you kernel is working fine, upgrade as usual. If something goes wrong, then you can deal with it, and you can always downgrade temporarily as needed.

Again, that's a bad idea. Upstream EOLs kernels for a reason. You want a supported kernel. Use LTS if you're afraid of the mainline one.

Surely you're right. My only fear. The problem is, for example, 3 days ago have begun to freeze all the system kernel -CK * and then every kernel change I feel a little insecure.

So you want to hold back the supported kernel in the repos because you had a problem with a custom kernel in an unsupported repo?! Notwithstanding the good work Graysky does keeping ck in order, that is just an absurd logic.

You can have the kernel from the repos installed right next to the ck kernel. If you have problems with the ck kernel (from repo-ck) you really need to go through graysky - but you can still boot the kernel from the supported repos in the meantime. If you have problems with the supported kernel from the repos, then seek help here.

Further, in either case, just downgrade to the kernel that worked. There is no cause for you to panic, even if your kernel does.
