Hi,

Is it possible to install or upgrade CentOS Linux 7 Kernel on rhel6.5 ?

i have installed rhel 6.5 on my laptop (2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64)
if can then how to install by package managemnt.


Thanks

RHEL seems to support in-place upgrade now. So why not instead read the relevant documentation and upgrade or install CentOS 7?..

Thanks unSpawn

i installed 3.16 kernel on rhel 6.5
but my wifi is not working properly( not connecting)
here how i installed

#downloded 3.16 kernel from www.kernal.org and extracted
# gcc, ncurses ncuress-devel installed
# cd <extractedfile>/
# make menuconfig ( this took me 2 hours)
SAVE
#make modules_install install (10 min)
restarted select new kernel3.16
thanks

You didn't follow my advice so what's there to thank me for?..


RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 are based on Fedora 19 and kernel 3.10. Not kernel 3.16. Long story short, "Enterprise Linux" means you only should update it with officially released packages from RHEL. Kernel 3.16 may work on CentOS 7 but I would never ever install it on RHEL 6.5.


I'm sure that dmesg, log files in /var/log/, insmod and iwconfig output will show you clues as to what to do next (so post them, next to the commands for loading the correct modules and enabling Wifi on the command line). I'll try and help but you should remember that by doing what you did you basically are SOL. Understand?
