Hi there. I have two Rpi3s running Centos7 but one from a few months ago. I just ntocied that the kernel repos are different. the older one has a baseurl ending in kernel-generic, while the new one ends with kernel-rpi2.
Which one is correct? I notice that they are not updating to the same kernel versions.

Both repositories are following now the 4.9.x LTS branch, but : - kernel generic is built from vanilla/upstream kernel from kernel.org , so works on all boards supported "upstream" - rpi2 kernel is the one built from https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux (that also rebase from upstream LTS but with their patches added in for the rpi2/rpi3)
Last kernels that were pushed last week are : - 4.9.65 for generic (4.9.64 had an issue with the embedded wifi on the cubietruck) - 4.9.64 for rpi2/rpi3
BTW, we never had any image for rpi2/rpi3 that was using the kernel-generic repo
