I just did my first 7.5 kernel upgrade, and I'm happy to report that the
system came right up into the new kernel (the first time that it's ever
done so without manual edits to extlinux.conf).
In fact, I was a bit surprised that it booted the *new* kernel. Here is
my extlinux.conf:
# extlinux.conf generated by appliance-creator
ui menu.c32

CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-generic-Minimal-1804. Automatic boot in #
second{,s}. Press a key for options.

Based on the "default=..." line, I expected it to boot
4.14.28-201.el7.centos.armv7hl. Instead it booted into
4.14.43-201.el7.armv7hl.
So something still seems just a bit off.
