So what if you try and install the new kernel?

 

[Audrey]

Have to eat - will manually install the kernel in a bit

 

[Audrey]

I am getting nowher trying to download and/or install the new kernel. What am I missing?

yum install --downloadonly 5.14.0-570.58.1.el9_6.x86_64

wrong command usage

No match for argument: 5.14.0-570.58.1.el9_6.x86_64

 

[Audrey]

What is the proper command usage?

 

[Audrey]

yum does not seem to think there is a new kernel available
and
dnf does not think there is a newer version available
Maybe there is not an updated kernel for DirectAdmin?
For the past 2 years (except for the last 2 months) when Cpanel updates my Cpanel server kernels, yum update always lets me update the kernel to the same kernel and cpanel servers.
Would you please let me know what is the newest kernel available for DirectAdmin AlmaLinux 9 servers.

[root@host5 ~]# dnf check-update kernel

[root@host5 ~]# sudo dnf update

Dependencies resolved.

Nothing to do.

Complete!

maybe cache problem try

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update
[code]

 

[Audrey]

Thanks for your advice, but,
sudo dnf clean all
then
sudo dnf update
did not make a difference

Would you please let me know what is the newest kernel available for DirectAdmin AlmaLinux 9 servers.

DirevctAdmin does not limit kernel versions, you can use any official or custom version. I've got:

[root@dev tools]# rpm -qa | grep ^kernel-5.14 | sort -V
kernel-5.14.0-570.52.1.el9_6.x86_64
kernel-5.14.0-570.55.1.el9_6.x86_64
kernel-5.14.0-570.58.1.el9_6.x86_64
[root@dev tools]#

did not make a difference

You might try and run yum/dnf reinstall command for kernel package.
