yum does not update kernel

One of mine centos7 servers won't update kernel, even it's seem to be available.
I cannot find any reson on yum setting which disabling it.

Currently running:

Code: Select all

uname -r

What's available:

Code: Select all

yum list available | grep kernel

Elementary check: what packages do you have already?

Code: Select all

rpm -q kernel

Note also that "3.10.0-1062.4.2.vz7.116.7" is not a CentOS kernel.

That's going to be an openvz system not a CentOS one. Your hoster has probably excluded a lot of packages including the kernel via an exclude= /etc/yum.conf and you should not attempt to override that but rather, ask them what you shoud do.

Thank's, This is maybe Jelastic vps and it's kernel - I haven't noticed it before.

Code: Select all

rpm -q kernel
package kernel is not installed
