The latest version is chosen, so your "custom" kernel needs to have a higher
version than the one available in the official Fedora repositories. It can be either
really be newer or if I'm not mistaking have a higher Epoch which is more important
than the version.
A workaround would be to create your own custom repository with all the required packages
including that kernel, and then using only that repository. I create it like this from my
local cache:
mkdir -p /tmp/local-repo/packages
ln -s /var/cache/dnf/*/packages/*.rpm /tmp/local-repo/packages/
createrepo_c -o /tmp/local-repo --skip-stat --changelog-limit 1 \
--compress-type gz --general-compress-type gz --checksum md5sum \
-g /var/cache/dnf/fedora-d02ca361e1b58501/repodata/gen/groups.xml \
/tmp/local-repo
Hope this helps,
Thank you very much again! I will see how it works out tomorrow and report back.
Best wishes,
Ranjan
