Step 1: Check Current Kernel Version
 

Before upgrading, confirm the current kernel version:

uname -r
 

Step 2: Update the System

Update the system's package repository to ensure you have access to the latest kernel packages:

sudo yum update -y

 

Step 3: Install the Development Kernel
 

Install the development kernel package to provide the necessary headers and libraries for building modules or applications:

sudo yum install -y kernel-devel
 

Alternatively, if you need a specific version:

sudo yum install -y kernel-devel-<version>Replace <version> with the specific kernel version you want.

Step 4: Verify the Installed Kernel and Development Package

Check Installed Kernels:

rpm -qa | grep kernelEnsure kernel-devel Matches the Installed Kernel: 

ls /usr/src/kernels/

Step 5: Reboot to Use the New Kernel

sudo reboot

uname -r


Happy Kernel Upgrade!!
