The /etc/redhat-release file never contains kernel version. Only the major and minor release information is in this file.
Try: uname -a and lsb_release -a Also, internet is filled with basic information on how to check the kernel, OS release or basic linux how to - try google search first.

It happens because redhat-release rpm can be updated any time , but kernel upgrade is not always happen.. So, how the correct redhat-release version, compatible to the kernel can be identified ?
