网上有不少升级CentOS内核的文章，如《CentOS 6.5 升级内核到 3.10.28》，大部分都是下载源码编译，有点麻烦。
在yum的ELRepo源中，有mainline（3.13.1）、long-term（3.10.28）这2个内核版本，考虑到long-term更稳定，会长期更新，所以选择这个版本。
1、导入public key
|
1
|
rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
|
2、安装ELRepo到CentOS-6.5中
|
1
|
rpm -ivh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-5.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
|
3、安装kernel-lt（lt=long-term）
|
1
|
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-lt -y
|
或者安装kernel-ml（ml=mainline）
|
1
|
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml -y
|
4、编辑grub.conf文件，修改Grub引导顺序
|
1
|
vim /etc/grub.conf

确认刚安装好的内核在哪个位置，然后设置default值（从0开始），一般新安装的内核在第一个位置，所以设置default=0。
5、重启，查看内核版本号
