    If you want to have the latest kernel, you might want to build it from source.

    yum check-update

    It will show you a list of latest available packages, kernel included that are distributed by CentOS.

    yum upgrade kernel for servers with single processors.
    yum upgrade kernel-smp for servers with multiple processors.
