Hi All,
I have a strange issue.

[root@tiger ~]# hostnamectl | grep Kernel
            Kernel: Linux 4.20.2-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
[root@tiger ~]# rpm -q kernel
kernel-3.10.0-957.el7.x86_64
kernel-3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64
[root@tiger ~]#
New kernel is not listed in rpm -q kernel

Try

Code: Select all

rpm -q kernel-ml
(i.e. the package you installed if you followed the instructions you linked to.)

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Is that indicator above mean that I have succeed install new kernel?
The next step I would like to do oldkernel clean up.
I did all that stuff above on development machine.

Code: Select all

# package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2
Cheers,
jgun

I am unsure whether package-cleanup knows about alternative kernels like kernel-ml. It's safe to try the command anyway as it won't remove the running kernel and will prompt you before it does anything.
