Oracle Linux 6.5 yum update changes default kernel from uek3 back to red hat

ossiossiAug 4 2014 — edited Aug 4 2014

Hi,

i have configured my OEL 6U5 system with uek3 kernel. I am using yum-cron with the security flag to auto-update the system with security-updates. By time I have to reboot manually for the kernel updates. After reboot I always check with "uname -an" the new kernel and the last time I recognized that the yum update has switched the default kernel from uek3 to the red hat kernel!

So, how can I prevent the yum update to change the default kernel back to red hat?

Yum shows me a lot of dependencies if I try to remove the red hat kernel, so this seems not to be a goof idea.

Thanks for any help

Torsten
