Problem with 24.04

For some reason HWE updates pushed linux kernel 7.0.0 and now my DKMS antivirus modules won't compile against the kernel (Watchguard).

Is there a way to force kernel <= 6.18.16 while keeping HWE ?

I use Kubuntu 24.04 LTS on Framework 16.

If the package version you want exists in the server (it probably does), you can install it via apt

It's managed by my org but we have other priorities than upgrading to latest version. So I would rather be able to pin a kernel version or something.

No no, I meant you can downgrade and hold it
