Kernel Upgrade via RPM
Is it possible to do a kernel Upgrade from a RPM?
If not, can someone point me in the way on how to upgrade the kernel via SSH. Thanks in Advance!! |
I think Red Hat uses RPM's to patch the kernel using up2date, but I doubt if there is a place to download a new kernel in RPM form. Like say going from 2.4.18 to 2.4.20.
|
So if I want to patch from .18 to .20 is there an RPM for that?
|
sure it is, run up2date
|
So i Just run up2date and it will patch it for me?
|
u need to instruct up2date first that u want the kernel to be upgraded.
use up2date-config and remove the entris for the Pgkskip list (ie. [kernel*] then do a: up2date -u kernel btw, u can also: go to www.redhat.com/errata and get the kernel update. and install it using: rpm -ivh kernel-xxxxxxx.xxx.rpm |
