Hi Team,

As there was no official Linux kernel RPM (version 3.18.22) for CentOS 7 in any of their distribution versions, we have customized spec file for creating 3.18.22 kernel RPM for CentOS-7 Minimal version by taking 3.18.12 kernel spec file

STEPS for Generating Kernel RPM

1.Downloaded the latest 3.18.22 kernel source code “linux-3.18.22.tar.gz https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-3.18.22.tar.gz” from

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/

2.  Customized the 3.18.12 kernel spec file w.r.t 3.18.22 kernel
   

SPEC and created RPM for CentOS 7 Minimal Version

For the record, the Virt SIG produces a newer LTS kernel.org kernel for Xen .. it is currently 3.18.21-17.el7 and lives here:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/xen/

That kernel will be updated periodically by the Virt SIG.

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
