RPM Kernel Upgrade
This is a very simple guide meant for people unfamiliar with upgrading kernels on a linux system. It is fairly simple to follow and I have done this on many servers so if you take your time and read though it you should have no problem. I take no responsibility if something goes wrong on your server because of this! This guide is formated for a RHEL server but if you understand the concept it can be applied to any rpm kernel.
Updated August with new versions
The kernel versions are constantly changing so this guide may fall out of date from time to time. The important thing to remember is when you are doing the up2date –download simply look at the version that is downloaded. That is going to be the latest version and in turn the version you want to install and boot to. RHEL or CentOS 5 follow the same basic method.
