OCI: Unable To Update kernel-uek
in Linux
Applies to:
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
Linux x86-64
Symptoms
Performing command to update only kernel-uek does not do anything
$ sudo yum update kernel-uek Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!
The above command suggests that there are no updates available.
Cause
The current booted kernel-uek is: kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.320.7.1.el7uek.x86_64
The reason that it is not possible to install kernel updates is due to the fact that there is a later uek kernel already installed.
kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.338.4.1.el7uek.x86_64 Tue Dec 17 11:20:37 2024
kernel-uek-5.4.17-2136.338.4.2.el7uek.x86_64 Tue Dec 24 11:21:03 2024
Both of these are newer than the currently booted kernel.
