(repost from opensuse@o.o) 
I'm sure many have this feature enabled, just in case.  Keeping multiple
kernels and module versions around.  

On one of my ARM systems, yesterday I ran an update "zypper patch" (Leap
15.0), which installed a new kernel 4.12.14-lp150.12.82-lpae, the old
one being 4.12.14-lp150.12.48-lpae.  

Both initrds were rebuilt, I have two kernels, two sets of modules - but
my dtb was cleared out: /boot/dtb-4.12.14-lp150.12.48/ - empty apart
from one file I had renamed to .old.  

I use my own DTB, but this did not prevent the system from booting,
instead it did stop the network from coming up (wifi device not
correctly defined in the openSUSE supplied DTB).  I had to climb some
10meters up a ladder to retrieve the box, disassemble it and put a
serial console on it :-) 

Question - the multiple kernels feature ought to have retained my dtb
directory contents in /boot/dtb-4.12.14-lp150.12.48/ ?  Or not ?
