CentOS使用yum的elrepo源升级内核
今天想在centos6.5安装docker，在网上查了说centos6.5需要64位的，内核需要升级到3.x以上（centos6.5本来是2.6），终于看到一篇文章是可以的，于是记录下来。
了解一下elrepo
elrepo是CentOS十分有用的稳定的软件源，与其他软件源不一样的是，这个第三方源主要是提供硬件驱动、内核更新方面的支持，如显卡、无线网卡、内核等等，现在已经支持centos7.x+,更新较快。
1、查看centos版本
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS release 6.4 (Final)
2、查看内核
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64
3、首先你要做的就是导入public key
[root@localhost ~]# rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org
4、然后安装ELRepo到CentOS-6.x中
注意：elrepo-release-6-6.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm这是针对centos6.0+版本的，网上的很多的文章都是错误的-6-5
1、安装 ELRepo for RHEL-6, SL-6 or CentOS-6:
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-8.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
2、安装 ELRepo for RHEL-7, SL-7 or CentOS-7:
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm (external link)
3、安装 ELRepo for RHEL-5, SL-5 or CentOS-5:
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-5-5.el5.elrepo.noarch.rpm (external link)
执行安装！
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-8.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm
返回：
Retrieving http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-6.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:elrepo-release ########################################### [100%]
5、安装kernel-lt（lt=long-term）
[root@localhost ~]# yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-lt -y
国外网速较慢，耐心等待....返回：

You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
或者安装kernel-ml（ml=mainline）
yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml -y
二者任选其一！
6、编辑grub.conf文件，修改Grub引导顺序
vim /etc/grub.conf
按 i 把 default=1修改为 default=0,按esc 键，输入 ：wq保存退出。
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /boot/vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/sda1
# initrd /boot/initrd-[generic-]version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

注意：
确认刚安装好的内核在哪个位置，然后设置default值（从0开始），一般新安装的内核在第一个位置，所以设置default=0。
7、重启centos
[root@localhost ~]# reboot
8、重新查看内核
[root@localhost ~]# uname -r
3.10.103-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64
升级成功！
