7. Reboot the server to load the new kernel.

## Update the kernel

Due to hardware specificities, it is not possible to use the kernel provided by
major Linux distributions directly on EM-RV1 servers. Instead, we provide a
custom upgrade channel. Follow the steps below to update your kernel:

1. [Reboot your EM-RV1 server in rescue mode](/bare-metal/elastic-metal/how-to/use-rescue-mode).
2. Log into the machine over SSH using the `rescue` user.
3. Update the kernel:
```bash
sudo rv1 update-kernel
```
4. Wait for the update to complete (this step can take a few minutes).
