Hello :)

Please check to ensure the following file exists and is writable:

Code:
# /etc/yum.conf
Try checking to see if it's been configured with the immutable flag with a command such as:

Code:
# lsattr /etc/yum.conf
If it has, you can use "chattr" to remove that attribute. EX:

Code:
# chattr -i /etc/yum.conf
Thank you.

i know that cpanel does not upgrade kernel, we need to do it manually.
but it show available kernel list in upcp
my question is, is there possible to exclude the kernel permanently on cpanel server
while we are exclude the kernel in yum.conf, it changes the exclude list after upcp run on server and it removes the excluded kernel from the exclude list, like we have excluded other packages also that does not affect only excluded kernel get's removed from the list, why? we don't want to excluded kernel remove from the exclude list in yum.conf.
also we don't want to see available kernel in upcp.

help us, this is very critical sever
software intel raid is configure on server

If you
Code:
touch /var/cpanel/checkyum-keepkernel
then your kernel exclusions should be preserved in yum.conf by cPanel & WHM.
