How to get the N-1 kernel rpm version from RedHat ?

[Florent Gilain]

Hi Jacob,

I found it, thanks to you !

Now, i suppose i need copy the downloaded RPMs and simply use the "rpm -Uvh
thepackage.rpm" command to install it ?

Florent,

You can get old kernel versions by logging directly into RHN with your user
account.

1. Select "Packages" in the drop down box.

2. Type "kernel" then click the Search button.

3. Your search will return an alphabetical list of package names.  Click on
the "K".

4.  Browse to the kernel version/architecture you need.

Remember to download the kernel source package that corresponds with your
kernel version / architecture.  For example, if you download the kernel-smp
package, you should also download the corresponding
kernel-smp-devel package.   

If you don't see the kernel package you need, check your entitlements and
system keys under the Systems tab in the main RHN toolbar at the top of the
page.  

Thanks, Jacob
