Cannot find latest Kernel Changelog

Post by bits45 » 2018/10/08 21:55:45

Why is it, after updating to latest CentOS 7 kernel-3.10.0-862.14.4, that I see cannot see that version's changelog info when queuing for it with the rpm command? I've tried to query just for that version number too.

I did a this procedure:

yum update kernel*
Rebooted.
uname -a to check i'm on new kernel

rpm -qa --changelog kernel

And it starts with a really old kernel info and older.

* Mon Jul 31 2017 CentOS Sources <bugs@centos.org> - 3.10.0-693.el7.centos
- Apply debranding changes

* Thu Jul 06 2017 Rafael Aquini <aquini@redhat.com> [3.10.0-693.el7]
- [x86] crypto: sha1-ssse3 - Disable avx2 (Benjamin Coddington) [1346106]

Thanks!

You likely have multiple kernels installed, and you need to query the changelog by giving the exact release:

Code: Select all

$ rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-862.3.3.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.6.3.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.11.6.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64

$ rpm -q kernel-3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64 --changelog | more

Thanks! I thought I had done that, but obviously not correctly.

Your syntax worked.

Thanks again!
