| Prev | Chapter 23. Upgrading the Kernel | Next |
There are several ways to determine if there is an updated kernel available for
your system.
Go to http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/,
choose the version of Red Hat Linux you are using, and view the errata for
it. Kernel errata are usually under the Security
Advisories section. From the list of errata, click the
kernel errata to view the detailed errata report for it. In the
errata report, there is a list of required RPM packages and a link
to download them from the Red Hat FTP site. You can also download
them from a Red Hat FTP mirror site. A list of mirror sites is
available at http://www.redhat.com/download/mirror.html.
Use Red Hat Network. You can use Red Hat Network to download the kernel RPM packages
and then manually upgrade to the latest kernel. Or, if you have
elected to let the Red Hat Update Agent upgrade
packages for you, Red Hat Network can download the latest kernel, upgrade
the kernel on your system, create an initial RAM disk if needed,
and configure the boot loader to boot the new kernel. All you have
to do is reboot into the new kernel. For more information, refer to
the Red Hat Network User Reference Guide available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/RHNetwork/.
If there is an updated kernel for the version of Red Hat Linux you are running,
download the appropriate packages using one of these methods. If you
used Red Hat Network to upgrade your kernel automatically, you are finished
— just reboot your system to use the new kernel. If you just
downloaded the RPM packages from the Red Hat Linux errata page or from Red Hat Network,
proceed to the Section called Performing the Upgrade.
