Hi all,

there is an objective in RHCSA about updating a kernel

i am practicing it on linux beta version

redhat linux beta - 2.6.32-19.el6.i686

now there is stable release kernel available i.e 3.2.2 at kernel.org

question is?
is it possible to update current kernel?
is it possible to do it with RPM command?
is there any RPM version of kernel available?
i dont want to install new kernel i need to update existing kernel?


are there step by step guide available to do update.

there is no ofcourse subscription to RHN.

and i need to update the kernel?

Well, the stable kernel.org release is not the same as "stable distribution release". The distro kernel is heavily patched compared to the kernel.org version, adding the distro-specific hooks and stuff...

I don't know what Google search tells you about installing custom kernels on RH...

But you can use zen-kernel.org kernel, following this guide. Read more on that page, the process is staightforward and you end up with a kernel fully compatible with your distro (at least mine, v3.2.2, builds and boots seamlessly on
Fedora).
This approach may or may not work when using kernel.org source, but I never tried .

Hope some of these tips will help...

The only thing you need is available kernel with you while upgrading

Just noticed this little addition:?????

The typical method to upgrade the kernel is to register with the Red Hat network and run:

This will give you the latest stable 2.6.32 kernel.
