Kernel of proper version is not found on node "test" [Expected = "2.6.39" ; Found = "2.6.32-300.3.1.el6uek.x86_64"]

The following error occurred while installing Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.7 (Database pre-install checks failed).

Error:

ERROR: [Result.addErrorDescription:624]  Kernel of proper version is not found on node "test" [Expected = "2.6.39" ; Found = "2.6.32-300.3.1.el6uek.x86_64"]

Fix:

The following are the steps needed to install the rpm using public-yum, with sample output from an Oracle Linux 6 installation:

1. As an authorized user (such as root), retrieve the file that configures repository locations:
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
For Oracle Linux 5 or 7, users should replace 'public-yum-ol6.repo' in the command above with 'public-yum-el5.repo' or 'public-yum-ol7.repo' respectively.

2. Using a text editor, change the field 'enabled=0' to 'enabled=1' for the repositories corresponding to the machine's operating system while also enabling the 'addons' channel. Here's an example of a repo file's entries:

[ol6_latest]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Latest ($basearch)

baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/latest/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1


[ol6_addons]

name=Oracle Linux $releasever Add ons ($basearch)

baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/addons/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1



[ol6_UEK_latest]

name=Latest Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel for Oracle Linux $releasever ($basearch)

baseurl=http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/UEK/latest/$basearch/

gpgkey=http://public-yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol6

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1


3.Update all packages and then install the pre-install rpm by running the following yum commands:

# yum update


# yum install oracle-ebs-server-R12-preinstall
