I am running RH 7.2 with a custom built 2.4.19 kernel supporting evms. I'd like to upgrade to RH 7.3 but am concerned that it will blow away my existing kernel. Will the upgrade leave my kernel alone or will it put in its own (non-evms) kernel?
It will probably try and install a kernel RPM, but as the kernels that redhat install have filenames with the redhat version number in them, it is highly unlikely that it will overwrite your current kernel.
What Redhat v7.3 might do is change your boot loader from Lilo to Grub, which in theory should not be a problem - it will give you the option of booting your custom kernel in the new boot menu.
To be safe, before you attempt an upgrade, create a boot disk with your custom kernel, just in case.
That concern aside, I am assuming that the upgrade from 7.2 to 7.3 is easy and does not introduce any surprises?
I didn't have any surprises when I upgraded from v7.1 to v7.3, but YMMV.
Regards,
Graham
