{{tip| '''mhwd-kernel will automatically update a newly installed kernel with any modules currently in your existing kernel'''. For example, if you were to update from kernel 3.5 to 3.6, mhwd-kernel would automatically update 3.6 with any and all modules present in 3.5. How about that!}} | |||
Manjaro not only supports the use of ''multiple'' kernels (selectable from the boot screen), but allows easy access to the '''very latest ''bleeding edge''''' kernels as well. This is undertaken through use of Manjaro's own ''MHWD-kernel'' (Manjaro Hard-Ware Detection) command. The syntax of the command is as follows: | Manjaro not only supports the use of ''multiple'' kernels (selectable from the boot screen), but allows easy access to the '''very latest ''bleeding edge''''' kernels as well.

Please note however, that attempting to delete multiple elements at once if they are not present on your system will result in an error message before the operation itself is aborted. It is also worthwhile noting if Manjaro is being run in a virtual machine (e.g. Oracle Virtualbox), you may not be able to delete certain kernels if they contain elements important to the virtualisation process itself. | Please note however, that attempting to delete multiple elements at once if they are not present on your system will result in an error message before the operation itself is aborted.

== Selecting Kernels === | |||

All available kernels installed on your system will be presented upon booting up. As illustrated, this includes backup copies of each installed kernel version (which will automatically be removed if or when a kernel is deleted). To select a kernel, simply use the arrow keys to highlight the desired version, and then press <enter>. | |||
Where a selection is not made, Manjaro will usually automatically select a kernel version after waiting five seconds for a key entry. The version automatically selected will usually be the one previously used. | |||
