I'd like to upgrade my Centos 7.1 kernel from 3.10 to 4.0
i did successfully in Ubuntu 15.04 using Linux 4.0.1-040001-generic
even though i updated it manually it's works fine
so please could anyone tell me how to upgrade Centos 7.1 Kernel to 4.0

2CentOS is based directly on Red Hat Enterprise, which has its legit. reasons for still being on kernel 3.10, to be honest if I were you, if you want a newer kernel, go with a distro that already uses a much newer kernel by default, like something in the 'Arch' family, for example. Just my 2 cents.– nomadrcMay 5, 2015 at 14:57

well i did successfully upgrade my kernel as the answer bellow, for some reason i really need newer kernel, especially in my experience using kernel 4.0 is much more stable and no crash or hang on nvidia driver– haidarvmMay 5, 2015 at 15:39

I am on a Debian box on kernel 3.16, also using the nvidia proprietary drivers, if I get a chance I want to try running a system based on the newest kernel(4.x series) to see what differences(if any) would exist on my specific platform.– nomadrcMay 6, 2015 at 16:17

You could upgrade the kernel via elrepo.
rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-7.0-2.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm (external link)
yum install --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel kernel-ml
You can also install the updated firmware and headers
yum install --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel kernel-ml-{firmware,headers,devel}
You'll probably need to remove the kernel-firmware first:
yum remove kernel-{firmware,headers,devel}

your answer helped me out ... BTW, elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml says -firmware does not need to be installed. Jul 5, 2016 at 2:38
