Oracle Linux Kernel Reference

The information provided in this reference can help you to understand the different kernel versions that are available for Oracle Linux.

  • The information provided in this reference can help you to understand the different kernel versions that are available for Oracle Linux 10.

    The following tables provide an overview of kernel availability on Oracle Linux 10 releases. You can use these tables to identify the initial UEK and RHCK kernel package versions for each release and to see which UEK releases are available for each update level. Never pin a system to an update level or a particular kernel version for an indefinite period, or the system becomes insecure as it doesn't receive the latest patches and security updates.

    Note

    Oracle Linux 10 releases on aarch64 platforms only include UEK kernel packages. RHCK isn't provided for this platform architecture.
