Hi,
I have Oracle Linux Server release 8.8
Today I run a yum updating the server and I see that the server have 2 kernel version :
Kernel 5.15 and 4.18.
Since the last startup of the server, I run with the kernel 4.18.0-425.10.1.el8_7.x86_64
and if I read correctly the output of grubby :
> grubby --info=ALL

the next reboot will switch to kernel 5.15 and I'm not sure that is a good idea.
the content of /etc/sysconfig/kernel :
Quote:
# UPDATEDEFAULT specifies if kernel-install should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=yes
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-uek-core
|
So if I change the default-kernel by running :
> grub2-set-default 2
is the next boot will be with the kernel vmlinuz-4.18.0-477.27 or the first kernel 5.15.105 ?
or is it better change de default and change the DEFAULT-KERNEL on sysconfig (vi or is there a commande for that ?)
thank you
