Upgrading hyperv image to newest version not working

[shareonline]

Hi all, i just finished setting up EFA in front of my Exchange, as i wanted a replacement for xeams.
So far it is working okay and mail gets delivered. But..

I cannot get LDAP to Work, when i try to log in with either UPN/Mail/Samaccountname i just get a http 500 error..
Furthermore, i cannot update the server to the new version 3.0.1.5. I'm on the 3.0.0.9 build so a Little far behind:)
When i try to update, it goes to Work, backs up, downloads etc. I can see that it first tries to update to 3.0.1.0 but then fails with this:

error: Packadge util-linux-ng-2.17.2-12.24.e16.x86_64 (updates)
requires: kernel-2.6.32-642
Installed: kernel-2.6.32-573.e16.x86_64 (@anaconda-CentOS-201508042137.x86_64/6.7)
update to version 3.0.1.0 FAILED

Can anybody help me? I really wanna get this going, but wont configure to much if i have to do it all over Again:) Furthermore i cannot find a hyperv image of the new 3.0.1.5??

Did you try rebooting into the new kernel?

Hmm no im really not a linux guy so no idea how to do that? I thought it came preloaded with only one kernel?

I just tried to import the hyperv image to a new vm, quickly walked through the configuration, and it has the same problem. So to me it seems like the 3.0.0.9 hyperv image has a broken update function?

But if somebody could please give me a shell command or guide to booting into the other kernel it would really help me

same issue/error for me.

Seems something missed when creating the hyper-v appliance

Glad I'm not the only one hoping for a fix, and in the meantime it really is a good spam filter. Pretty impressed so far

i'm linux noob...but i managed to update the kernel (its updating the efa right now so i dont know if this is supported, but it seems to work)

Googled this:
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17716
And found that kernel was excluded from update.. so i..
Edit
/etc/yum.conf
From:
exclude=kernel* mysql* postfix* mailscanner* clamav* clamd* open-vm-tools* perl-Net-DNS
To
exclude=mysql* postfix* mailscanner* clamav* clamd* open-vm-tools* perl-Net-DNS

The run
yum update kernel

Then i was able to run update... but as i say i'm noob at linux and haven't verified that everything is working after this.

Update is supposed to update the kernel first. Interesting it did not do that for you
