Hi- I need to install a specific kernel version on R9.2- how to do? Rocky 9.2 comes with 5.14.0-284.11.1.el9\_2.x86\_64 I need to install: 5.14.0-284.30.1.el9\_2.x86\_64 Yum/DNF wants to install a later version (5.14.0-427.18.1.el9\_4) which is not desired. Please let me know the complete procedure for installing the slightly newer kernel that I am looking to install. Reason that the specific kernel needed is related to devops considerations and their team’s request. Thank you. ---

> [@lerroot](#): > > Reason that the specific kernel needed is related to devops considerations and their team’s request. You should let that team know that 9.2 is end of life and has been for a year. [Rocky Linux Release and Version Guide - Rocky Linux Wiki](https://wiki.rockylinux.org/rocky/version/#timeline) With that said, there is no procedure. They can download the kernel packages manually from [kojidev.rockylinux.org](http://kojidev.rockylinux.org) and install it. ---

Hi, you can try with `dnf --showduplicates list ` and see if this version is up on your repo, if not just download manually as @label said and install. ---

Overall, DNF tends to show/install latest, but can show all and install any. Compare: ```auto dnf list kernel dnf list --showduplicates kernel ``` If 5.14.0-284.30.1.el9\_2 is on the list (is in enablerd repositories), then it can be requested explicitly: ```auto dnf install kernel-5.14.0-284.30.1.el9_2 ``` * * * But as said, if you are not selling to RHEL 9.2 EUS customers, then don’t dig zombies. ---

Forgive my confusion- but I’m getting a ton of errors trying to manually dl/install the x86\_64 packages i see on my other hosts with the same .30 kernel version, ie.: [root@hostname]# yum install kernel-5.14.0-284.30.1.el9\_2.x86\_64.rpm Last metadata expiration check: 2:30:13 ago on Wed 29 May 2024 06:21:30 AM PDT.

Look at output of `dnf rq --installonly --latest=1` That list of packages (but desired version). Since they are not in repos, you have to have all the files in the same ‘dnf install’ command. ---
