DNF: Retainining old Kernels

Currently I have problem with newer kernel RPMs on my Dell Dimension.
There's a bug in Bugzilla about this.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1231508

I have three kernel RPMs installed.

kernel-4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.2.6-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64

Over the weekend I discovered that the problem goes away if I use the
oldest of my kernel installations (4.2.5-300).

I'm worried that the next time I get a kernel update, my working RPM
will be removed and (potentially) replaced with another non-working
one.

Can I configure dnf so that it won't remove the working kernel RPM and
new updates will replace the second oldest one? I'd obviously still
like to install new RPMs so that I can test them to find when my
problem is fixed.

Thanks,

Dave...
