    You should login to SSH and run up2date -u and update your kernel as necessary with up2date -uf kernel OR kernel-smp (you may also need to update kernel-utils, kernel-source, etc.)

    redhat-release is commonly missed as well. Check your up2date config and ensure you're on the latest update 5 as well. New kernels have been made available to fix some serious issues.

    Go on, have a guess
    If you run the following you will see what would be installed:

    up2date -l

    If you want to skip certain modules make sure you have configured your pkgskiplist in:

    up2date --config

    You can get lists of apps to skip by searching the forum for pkgskiplist. You'll possibly have to add mod_utils* to that list if you compile your own kernel.

    Not always. They only generally update what cPanel itself needs and may not include other apps that your OS needs.
