Have you\u00a0upgraded your kernel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0redhat-release<\/strong>\u00a0packages and you are encountering some issues. Do you want to downgrade to a lower minor release. In this article, we will describe how to do downgrade RHEL or CentOS version to previous minor version.<\/p>\n

Note<\/strong>: The following steps will only work for downgrades within the same major version (such as from\u00a0RHEL\/CentOS 7.6 to 7.5<\/strong>) but not between major versions (such as from\u00a0RHEL\/CentOS 7.0 to 6.9<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

A minor version is a release of\u00a0RHEL<\/strong>\u00a0that does not (in most cases) add new features or content. It focuses on solving minor problems, typically bugs or security issues. Most of what makes a specific minor version is included in the kernel, so you will need to find out which kernels are supported as part of the minor version you are targeting.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this article, we will show how to downgrade from\u00a07.6 to 7.5<\/strong>. Before we proceed, note that the kernel version for\u00a07.5<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a03.10.0-862<\/strong>. Got to\u00a0Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release Dates<\/a>\u00a0for a complete list of minor releases and associated kernel versions.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s check if the required kernel packages \u201ckernel-3.10.0-862<\/strong>\u201d is installed or not, using the following\u00a0yum command<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 \r\n# yum list kernel-3.10.0-862*\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n
Check Kernel Version Package<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
If the output of the previous command shows that the kernel package is not installed, you need to install it on the system.<\/p>\n
# yum install kernel-3.10.0-862.el7\r\n<\/pre>\n
Once the kernel installation is compete, to apply the changes, you need to reboot the system.<\/p>\n
Then downgrade the\u00a0redhat-release<\/strong>\u00a0package to complete the process. The command below targets the latest minor version that is lower than the current running one, such as from\u00a07.6 to 7.5<\/strong>, or from\u00a07.5 o 7.4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
# yum downgrade redhat-release\r\n<\/pre>\n
Finally, confirm the downgrade by checking the contents of\u00a0\/etc\/redhat-release<\/strong>\u00a0using the\u00a0cat command<\/a>.<\/p>\n
# cat \/etc\/redhat-release\r\n<\/pre>\n
\"Check<\/a><\/p>\n
Check Release Version<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
