I don't recall ever seeing that. Curious.
Even though all my own installations are in multiboot, for Fedora, Mageia and
openSUSE, I prevent all automatic kernel upgrades, regardless whether major or
minor, dist-upgrade or otherwise. I can't recall any instance of a dist-upgrade
failing in any fashion because a newer kernel hadn't been installed.
