Dear all,

Where can I find the latest kernel patches, is there any repository maintained by CentOS. Please share me the link of the patch repository and rpm updates.

Thanks and regards Dilip Kumar B

  • You should just run “yum update” or “yum update kernel*”. The latest released updates are always there. If there’s a reason that yum doesn’t work for you, you should post that so people can give you a more appropriate solution.

  • Hi,
    I am using CentOS 6.5 minimal version, some of the updates may not be relevant for my OS. So I need to verify and decide the patches and accordingly need to update my OS.
    Please is there any way for this?

    Thanks and regards Dilip Kumar B

  • I believe “yum update” updates only currently-installed packages, so they should all be relevant.

    yum update also prompts you to confirm the install before proceeding. But as I wrote earlier, “yum update kernel*” will attempt to update just the kernel packages (and prompt for confirmation before installing).
