通常情况下升级内核版本的步骤

CentOS 升级步骤

yum makecache -y 

yum update -y 

grub2-editenv list

grub2-set-default 'CentOS Linux (3.10.xxxxx.el7.elrepo.x86_64) 7 (Core)' # entry_name

systemctl reboot

清理旧版本的步骤

RHEL 或者 Centos

rpm -qa  kernel* 

# 这个命令会列出所有当前已经安装的版本的内核， 然后手动使用命令移除对应的软件包即可。 
直接使用yum 移除不需要的版本即可. 
yum remove -y kernel-devel-5.10.216-204.855.amzn2.x86_64 kernel-devel-5.10.218-208.862.amzn2.x86_64 kernel-5.10.216-204.855.amzn2.x86_64 kernel-5.10.218-208.862.amzn2.x86_64

rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-tools-5.10.219-208.866.amzn2.x86_64
kernel-headers-5.10.219-208.866.amzn2.x86_64
kernel-devel-5.10.219-208.866.amzn2.x86_64
kernel-5.10.219-208.866.amzn2.x86_64

列出确认一下是不是已经清理出来.

当然 如果全都卸载了. 也是可以重装的(doge.
yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools"
yum install -y kernel kernel-devel kernel-debug

Ubuntu 降级
Ubuntu Online 的内核不能直接卸载, 需要安装, 然后切换, 卸载新的

查看可用内核的版本

root@ip-172-31-59-13:$ apt search linux-image | grep 5.4.0 | grep linux-image | grep aws

查看所有已经安装的内核

root@ip-172-31-59-13:~$ dpkg --get-selections  | grep linux
console-setup-linux				install
libselinux1:amd64				install
linux-aws					install
linux-aws-5.15-headers-5.15.0-1048		install
linux-aws-headers-5.4.0-1126			install
linux-base					install
linux-headers-5.15.0-1048-aws			install
linux-headers-5.4.0-1126-aws			install
linux-headers-aws				install
linux-image-5.15.0-1048-aws			install
linux-image-5.4.0-1126-aws			install
linux-image-aws					install
linux-modules-5.15.0-1048-aws			install
linux-modules-5.4.0-1126-aws			install
util-linux					install

安装内核

root@ip-172-31-59-13:~$ apt install -y linux-image-5.4.0-1126-aws/focal-updates linux-headers-5.4.0-1126-aws

指定Grub Entry条目

root@ip-172-31-59-13:~$ vim /etc/default/grub

其中Entry的变量应该设置为下面的格式:
Advanced options for Ubuntu>Ubuntu, with Linux 5.4.0-1126-aws

清理内核的步骤 - Version 2

Deb 包管理工具清理步骤

  • 列出所有已经安装的内核版本：
    dpkg --list | grep linux-image
  • 列出所有旧的内核并自动删除除当前内核之外的旧内核：
    sudo apt-get autoremove --purge`
  • 如果想手动删除旧内核，可以使用以下命令，
    sudo apt-get remove --purge linux-image-X.X.X-X-generic

Rpm 包管理工具的清理步骤

  • 查看安装的内核
    rpm -qa | grep kernel
  • 使用yum卸载
    sudo yum install yum-utils
  • 设置只保留两个内核
    sudo package-cleanup --oldkernels --count=2
