[solved]Installing lts kernel.
Hi,
I would like to install the linux-lts kernel next to the linux kernel.
I'm not sure of myself and before doing something stupid I prefer to ask for confirmation. I am in UEFI with systemd-boot manager.
I recovered using pacman the lts kernel and the 3 lts images (vmlinuz, initramfs and initramfs falback) are in /boot/.
Do I just have to create in the / boot/loader/entries/ directory a second configuration file cloned to the existing one but with the lts references?
armand@Desktop-living boot]$ ls /boot/
EFI amd-ucode.img b89d5bdf20d14d6db1eb02f5e1a1a291 initramfs-linux-fallback.img initramfs-linux.img loader vmlinuz-linux
[armand@Desktop-living ~]$ ls /boot/EFI/

Pretty much, yes.

You're looking for a problem that doesn't exist. You asked how to add the LTS kernel to your bootloader's options, described the correct way, which was confirmed. What else do you want? An insurance contract? You won't get that here.
