Upgrade kernel from base Cloudlinux 7.2 kernel

[grzegorz]

Hello,

so this is our very first setup of Cloudlinux (7.2 specifically).

SO we tried to update packages, and got bunch of errors, after investigating forums - we understood, that our kernel: 3.10.0-329.7.2.lve1.3.58.el7.x86_64
is quite old and needs to be updated.

But updating kernel gives similar errors, like:

# yum update kernel
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Can anyone point us in the right direction? Thanks

So the sollution was to change the contents of the file to:

# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/rhnplugin.conf
[main]
enabled = 1

thats all

[bogdan.sh]

Good to hear you was able to resolve it. Yes, rhnplugin should be enabled to get repos from CLN.
Strange how did you got kernel 3.10.0-427.10.1.lve1.4.7 during the update process. Maybe something from yum cache..
