<title>Always use the -i (install) option to install new kernel packages!</title>
<para>
<command>rpm</command> provides two different options for installing packages: the aforementioned <option>-U</option> option (which historically stands for <emphasis>upgrade</emphasis>), and the <option>-i</option> option, historically standing for <emphasis>install</emphasis>. Because the <option>-U</option> option subsumes both install and upgrade functions, we recommend to use <command>rpm -Uvh</command> with all packages <emphasis>except <package>kernel</package> packages</emphasis>.</para>
- <para>You should always use the <option>-i</option> option to simply <emphasis>install</emphasis> a new kernel package instead of upgrading it. This is because using the <option>-U</option> option to upgrade a kernel package removes the previous (older) kernel package, which could render the system unable to boot if there is a problem with the new kernel. Therefore, use <command>rpm -i</command> command to install a new kernel <emphasis>without replacing any older <package>kernel</package> packages</emphasis>. For more information on installing <package>kernel</package> packages, refer to <xref

<para>The signature of a package is checked automatically when installing or upgrading a package. The signature confirms that the package was signed by an authorized party. For example, if the verification of the signature fails, an error message such as the following is displayed:</para>
