Ok if elrepo is fine, I will use it. This warning sort of made sense to me Warning: Please note that installing a new kernel not officially supported by both RHEL and CentOS project. It is also possible that your system may not boot. As the kernel-ml/lt packages are built from the source tar balls provided by kernel.org without any modifications to the code, they can contain some differences when compared to the CentOS/RHEL distribution kernels. Hence, you must keep backups of all important files before you do this. -----Original Message----- Cc: ceph-users Subject: Re: [ceph-users] centos7 / nautilus where to get kernel 5.5 from?

I have default centos7 setup with nautilus. I have been asked to install 5.5 to check a 'bug'. Where should I get this from? I read that the elrepo kernel is not compiled like rhel.

Hi Marc, I'm not sure what you mean by "not compiled like RHEL". Follow [1] to enable elrepo repository and then: $ sudo yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml "ml" stands for "mainline". This is the most recent mainline stable kernel from kernel.org, it should get you 5.5.3. [1] http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php Thanks, Ilya
