[OE-core] How to upgrade the kernel

[Muhlenkamp, Lewis]

Hello,

I am still fairly new to Yocto and Openembedded.  I've built a custom distribution and have a few images.  I'm now in the process of trying to determine how to upgrade from one version to another.

I created an image using Yocto 2.6.  When I install it, it installs the following kernel RPMs:

### Start "rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep -v kernel-module" output ###
kernel-4.14.110+git0+bc35d5bd22_f93147df5d-r0.corei7_64_intel_common
kernel-image-4.14.110-intel-pk-standard-4.14.110+git0+bc35d5bd22_f93147df5d-r0.corei7_64_intel_common
kernel-4.14.110-intel-pk-standard-4.14.110+git0+bc35d5bd22_f93147df5d-r0.corei7_64_intel_common
kernel-image-bzimage-4.14.110-intel-pk-standard-4.14.110+git0+bc35d5bd22_f93147df5d-r0.corei7_64_intel_common
### End "rpm -qa | grep kernel | grep -v kernel-module" output ###


I built a newer image using Yocto 3.0.  In the RPM repo I have the following kernel RPMs:

### Start "ls -1 /var/opt/repos/os | grep kernel | grep -v kernel-module" output ###
kernel-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
kernel-4.19.73-intel-pk-standard-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
kernel-dev-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
kernel-image-4.19.73-intel-pk-standard-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
kernel-image-bzimage-4.19.73-intel-pk-standard-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
kernel-vmlinux-4.19.73+git0+a7cb57afb9_ca05e9cd64-r0.corei7_64_intel_common.rpm
systemd-kernel-install-243+0+efb536d0cb-r0.corei7_64.rpm
### End "ls -1 /var/opt/repos/os | grep kernel | grep -v kernel-module" output ###


When I try to do "dnf upgrade" I get the following error messages:

### Start excerpt from "dnf upgrade" command ###

### End excerpt from "dnf upgrade" command ###


I also tried running "dnf upgrade --best --allowerasing", but got the same results.

Can I upgrade a system using the dnf command?  If so, how?  If not, what do I need to do to allow the system to be upgraded using the dnf command?

Thank you

Lewis Muhlenkamp
