The situation:

  • 6.17.7 (last kernel to not break my speakers, but not in history repos)
  • 6.18.3 (installed kernel)
  • 6.19-rc4 (fix is apparently present)

I would like to either have kernel-default 6.17.7 or 6.19-rc4 and then lock the package.

Unfortunately, my system dumped 6.17.7.

Solution: just download the package directly from openSUSE’s kernel HEAD repository website.
