Basis – Upgrading the Kernel from 700 to 720

Well, I’m trying to venture into the mobile world, but as always, there are technical challenges I just never quite expect.  🙂  Today’s challenge is that the NetWeaver Gateway won’t work with the 700 Kernel.  So I had to look into upgrading kernel from 700 to 720.  I owe all of my success to someone I found on SDN.

As expected, it’s a little more complicated than just installing a new kernel, so check this post out if need help doing this.  I now have a system to the latest 720 kernel.  But be warned, it takes a lot longer to boot the system up with the new kernel.  I’m hoping that may only be the first time.  Guess I’ll see the next time I need to take the system down.

Thanks for reading,
