update kernel

I am trying update our kernel, but it looks smaller

Hello,

I am trying to update our cloudlinux using yum -y update and got this:

================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =================
Package Arch Version X Repository X Size
================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =================
Installing:
kernel x86_64 2.6.18-374.3.1.el5.lve0.8.44 cloudlinux-x86_64-server-5 21 M
Removing:
kernel x86_64 2.6.18-264.11.1.el5.17.cloudlinux installed X 100 M

Transaction Summary
================================================== ================================================== ================================================== =================
Install 1 Package(s)
Upgrade 0 Package(s)
Remove 1 Package(s)
Reinstall 0 Package(s)
Downgrade 0 Package(s)

Total download size: 21 M

I decided to cancel, because new kernel only 21 MB and trying remove old kernel with size 100 MB.

Should I say yes to upgrade kernel ?

Thank you

Yes, the old kernel you have is very old, and has some of the components that are not needed at all (hence such a big size)

dear Igor,

Thank you very much. I realize that we are using 2.6.18-338.9.1.el5.lve0.8.32 and removing the oldest kernel in grub.conf after we upgrade it.

Thank you
