KVM 1.1 and new Kernel

I change grub config file and set kernel 2.6.32-11 as default and wait for next release. It's possible to reinstall kernel 2.6.32-12 - was removed during the update.
If it is possible to run -12, why did you switch back to -11 ?
 
How does this effect support for the Spice Protocol? Can spice be used with KVM 1.1, is Spice not part of that package?
 
The correct syntax of the phrase I think should be:
"Is it possible to reinstall kernel 2.6.32-12? - was removed during the update so I had to go back to -11"
Btw, really a kernel upgrade should never ever remove previous version. In any case the .deb should still be in /var/cache/apt/archives
(# ls -l /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep kernel)
 
I don't recall the details, but I'm pretty sure that sometime with aptitude full-upgrade you are notified that some packages will be removed (older version), including the kernel, and I always hit "y", don't know if you hit "n" it retains them or just aborts the upgrade. Next time I see this I will try to take note of more info, seems strange did not happened to you too, but don't think I can have any settings that can affect this (I've not customized apt behaviour).
 
It happend today in a 1.9 proxmox, so I report it back here since I think is a common issue with debian or with proxmox kernel package name/release (I've no idea) and not related to proxmox version.

yes, and you get told that it is removed. I do not see any problem here.

if you want to keep the old kernel, do 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
