I know I can just not upgrade the system, but then I miss upgrades to xbmc and tvheadend.
I've tried reading about pinning and apt-hold and it makes my eyes spin in my head. Thought I'd ask you guys as you'll know exactly what I'm asking. I have an x64 system installed exactly according to the howto in the first post and it's working perfectly in every other respect.
Edit: hang on, don't tell me it's as simple as doing apt-get upgrade instead of apt-get dist-upgrade? I'm going to kick myself if so...
you can safely upgrade that kernel. since 3.13 is higher, your system will (should) default to the latest kernel loaded in the system.
besides, it's always safe to have at least one fallback working kernel in your system.
if you really want to, you can purge any un-needed kernels
Code:
apt-get purge linux-header***
apt-get purge linux-image***
