Where is the documentation for upgrading to a newer kernel once you have
a server set up and running? You can't just run "yum upgrade" or "dnf
upgrade." I've googled around and there are all kinds of docs, blogs,
etc., on setting up a new server but I can't find anything documenting
how to update.
Just point me to the docs. I can "RTFM." ;-]
Thanks,

Just out of curosity right after I sent my original e-mail to the list I
tested kernel 3.14.7. I ran into a boot error but not the same error.
Aha -- another clue.
The error is "ERROR: mmu_update failed with rc=-22"
I haven't seen that one before. I googled around a bit and found a few
interesting comments, e.g., from a few years ago pointing out an issue
with PV-Grub when upgrading "Amazon Linux AMI." I'm not using an Amazon
Linux AMI but at least others have run into this before.
I created a new micro instance from AMI "Fedora-x86_64-20-20131211.1-sda
(ami-1337187a)," ran "yum upgrade" to get the 3.14.7 kernel, rebooted
and it runs fine.
In the EC2 User's Guide I see the following for the above error:
Seek assistance by posting your issue to the
Developer Forums or contacting Premium Support.
OK, so I will. Anyone have a clue? Maybe a missing package? Reinitialize
something? All suggestions are welcome. I've been running the systems that
are having the problem since last Fall so there have been quite a few updates,
including from F19 to F20.
Thanks,

That's generally been my experience -- runs fine, I mean.

I'm not sure. One thing we're planning with F21 is to redo the images with
the newer pvgrub kernel image from Amazon -- that might help. We could test
with F20 but it'd be nice to have a consistent (fails every time) case we
can reproduce and test.
