    • 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.
