Ok, so is that a confirmation that installing this kernel, even though it might be "for 6.5" should not in itself break anything, and that it should boot?
Every RH errata contains the following text: « Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. »
And that’s the case for that kernel: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2014-1167.html
So, imho, just yum update and reboot. You’ll be at 6.5 and far more safer.
Yeah, I might end up doing that. However, this is a system that runs proprietary software that explicitly runs on 6.4, so I was trying to avoid upgrading everything.
Oh well. It won't be the first time I make this particular propritary system run on a distro it doesn't officially support, they were stuck on CentOS 5 for the longest time, and I made it work on 6.3 before they got with the times.
