How do I find my old kernel?

It’s actually quite simple.

  1. Install Ubuntu. Just download the latest LTS version of Ubuntu (for me now it is 16.04) from its official site and install it with your VMware or anything.
  2. Install Older Kernel. …
  3. Boot Into the ‘New’ Kernel.

Which kernel version is installed on the system?

Using the uname Command

The uname command displays several system information including, the Linux kernel architecture, name version, and release. The output above shows that the Linux kernel is 64-bit and its version is 4.15. 0-54 , where: 4 – Kernel Version.
