  • Yum update kernel does not boot into new kernel and /boot/grub2/grub.config is not existing

    Posted on

    Hello,
    We are running RHEL 7.3.
    We updated using yum update to latest kernel (kernel-3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64)

    yum update kernel

    And rebooted the system

    pm -q kernel
    kernel-3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64
    kernel-3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64
    kernel-3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64

    But the system did not boot to latest kernel

    uname -a
    3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64

    In fact the /boot/grub2/grub.conf does not exist

    ls /boot | grep grub*

    Why did the yum update fail to add to /etc/grub? and what is the solution
