ksplice works only for kernels. And make several modules out of the
deltas between the kernel release, which will be loaded in the older
kernel. So you'll end up with, let's say 2.6.33.6-147 and a bunch of
modules covering the patches up to the 2.6.33.8-149. Technically you are
at 2.6.33.8-149. Practically you still run 2.6.33.6-147 (with
improvements :) ).
What exactly is ksplice meant to do?
I yum-installed it today,
and then ran "yum update" which installed a new kernel.
I expected this to start running, but it didn't.
Admittedly I didn't read any instructions.
