How to downgrade kernal version from 6.8 to 6.7 in OEL

User_0QMMTOct 17 2016 — edited Oct 18 2016

Oracle Linux 6.7 is accidentally upgraded to 6.8 .  Need to revert(downgrade) it to 6.7.

Unable to find any preferred note on how we can do it in OEL.

How do we edit menu.lst to change it to boot from 6.7?

Here are some recent outputs,

[root@******cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_lkkddb02-lv_root
#          initrd /initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
