+
+Description
+***********
+
+For this tutorial, you will modify your kernel list to boot with the kernel you want to use. This process is valid when you cannot compile third-party kernel modules and need to come back to old, or if you compile your custom kernel.
+
+
+Get the current boot status

+**************************
+
+You can check the id from the latest command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   bootctl list |grep id: |cut -f 2 -d ":"
+     id: Clear-linux-preempt_rt-6.1.38-105.conf
+     id: Clear-linux-native-6.9.1-1436.conf
+     id: Clear-linux-native-6.8.10-1434.conf
+     id: auto-reboot-to-firmware-setup
+
+
+Set the kernel
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo bootctl set-default ID
+
+For example to set 6.9.1 entry:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo bootctl set-default Clear-linux-native-6.9.1-1436.conf
+
+Just reboot
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   sudo systemctl reboot
+
+You will boot with the kernel set before.
