I need to upgrade my centos OS to kernel-3.10.0-862 to address the security issue. When I run yum check-update|grep kernel Gives only 693.21

kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-693.21.1.el7 updates

I do see the updated kernel here : http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/updates/x86_64/Packages/

What is the correct method to install these update using yum command?

Thanks SR

Update:

# rpm -qa kernel\* kernel-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-headers-3.10.0-693.17.1.el7.x86_64 kernel-tools-libs-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 kernel-tools-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 # yum list installed | grep kernel kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-693.11.1.el7 @updates kernel.x86_64 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 @updates kernel-headers.x86_64 3.10.0-693.17.1.el7 @updates kernel-tools.x86_64 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 @updates kernel-tools-libs.x86_64 3.10.0-693.11.6.el7 @updates

yum file for updates

    @sfgroups Post the output of rpm -qa kernel\* and/or yum list installed | grep kernel. Commented Apr 30, 2018 at 19:40
  • Check content of your centos repo file in /var/yum.repos.d/. The most probably you have specified some mirror which wasn't updated yet. Commented Apr 30, 2018 at 21:31

Within /etc/yum.repos.d, you should see a repo called CentOS-CR.repo which will be disabled. Set enabled to 1 and then yum list available | grep kernel and you'll see the kernel packages for 3.10.0-862.

After that, you can yum update or yum install kernel* to get the new kernel packages.

I just ran yum update on my Centos 7.4 text box and everything seems to be working okay with the usual tasks after 3.10.0-862 was installed.

  1. Update kernel level: https://www.tecmint.com/install-upgrade-kernel-version-in-centos-7/

  2. Run this

    yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml-devel

    I'm not sure that installing kernel headers is the way forward for this question. Neither is adding a 3rd-party repository when the OP sees the updated package in the repo. Commented Mar 2, 2019 at 15:50
