Shipped Kernels

For the x86_64 platform, Oracle Linux 10 ships with the following default kernel packages:

• kernel-uek-6.12.0-100.28.2 (Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 8 Update 1 (UEK 8U1))

  For new installations, the UEK kernel is automatically enabled and installed. It also becomes the default kernel on first boot.

• kernel-6.12.0-55.9.1.0.1 (Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK))

For the aarch64 platform, Oracle Linux ships with the UEK kernel only.

The Oracle Linux release is tested as a bundle, as shipped on the installation media image. When installed from the installation media image, the kernel's version included in the image is the minimum version that's supported. Downgrading kernel packages isn't supported, unless recommended by Oracle Support.
