Security Advisor - Kernel Is Out Of Date

PCZero

• November 06, 2013 23:17

When I run the Security Advisor I get the following warning: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current kernel version is out of date. current: 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6, expected: 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6 Update current system software in the "Update System Software" area, and then reboot the system in the "Graceful Server Reboot" area. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I click the link to run the Update System Software and then perform a Graceful Server reboot as instructed but the message is still present. How do I resolve this?

  Hello :) Please run the following command: yum update
  Does it prompt you to accept a kernel upgrade? Thank you.

  Thanks Michael. As usual your fix was spot on. That performed the update flawlessly and after a graceful reboot all is well.

  I have the same problem but mine is the same even after running update and graceful start And when I run "yum update" it says "No Packages marked for Update" :( [QUOTE]Current kernel version is out of date. current: 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6, expected: 2.6.32-431.1.2.0.1.el6 Update current system software in the "Update System Software" area, and then reboot the system in the "Graceful Server Reboot" area.
  Any help will be appreciated :)

  Not to hijack the thread, but can the Security Advisor check for the existence of Ksplice and check version against uptrack-uname -r instead of just uname -r ... So in our case we do have an outdated kernel loaded... [root@cp3 ~]# uname -r 2.6.32-358.6.2.el6.x86_64
  but checking the effective kernel version shows that it is the latest... [root@cp3 ~]# uptrack-uname -r 2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_64
  Just a thought...
