There's a new dual build/delivery approach that Red Hat has introduced with RHEL 7.5. RHEL 7.5 offers an alternate build stream called "Structure A," which is a Red Hat supported installation with kernel_alt packages. With Structure A you get more hardware exploitation, especially on IBM z14 and LinuxONE Emperor II/Rockhopper II machines, and that might or might not affect the package version answers. The RHEL 7.5 release notes explain this all pretty well:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html-single/7.5_release_notes/index RHEL 7.5 either includes kernel 3.10 or, in the Structure A build, kernel 4.14. Red Hat then backports critical fixes to both kernels as it services RHEL 7.5. Did you install the Structure A build, Daniel? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM Z & LinuxONE, Multi-Geography E-Mail: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
