Kernel and Kernel Firmware Sites

When manually installing the kernel RPMs, you need to know where to get the required RPMs.

The following table shows some public domain repositories for kernel and kernel firmware RPMs. This information is useful only when performing a kernel upgrade installation to go from an unbundled host-driver kernel to an embedded host-driver kernel. If you are using an updater, such as Yum, you do not need to manually get the RPMs.
