Is there a way to find out what previous kernels were installed?
Hello,
I remember having installed Red Hat 6.2, then doing an upgrade install to Red Hat 7.0, then Red Hat 7.1.
Is there a way to find out what kernels were installed by looking at the distribution CDs or looking at system logs?
If not, what kernels typically came with RH 6.2 and RH 7.0?
Thanks.

The *s will be the version number.
For example on my Red Hat 7 system I have the kernel-2.2.16-22 package installed which is rpm version 22 of kernel 2.2.16.
However you should if possible upgrade to the latest kernel (you might want to stick to the 2.2 series which at the moment is 2.2.19 or upgrade to 2.4 which is at 2.4.5) for bug fixes and performance enhancement.
