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
