I would like to install ati catalyst driver which cooperate with kernel up to 3.11. Fedora is currently running kernel 3.15. I would like to avoid installing kernel from the sources and use some prepackaged version (best from some official repo). I'd also like to block fedora from updating kernel beyond version 3.11.
you can get it from koji
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8
but be careful it could compromise ( security fix ) or break your system (compatibility ) to downgrade your kernel
To make permanent changes, edit the /etc/yum.conf file and following entries to it:
exclude=kernel*
It will exclude all kernel version and question where I get older kernel from still remains.
I will answer my own question. There are two yum plugins that are useful here: yum-allowdowngrade and yum-versionlock.
