Ken,
We did the installer update during the last kernel upgrade as well. I forgot if we have specific storyboard at that time, but this is the required step for kernel upgrade like Victor/Erich stated. 

Thx. - cindy

Hi Ken, 

In the best case, I think it would be just matter of point to the new files and everything should work. In the worst case the packages that are installed by us in the installer conflicts with some other packages already there. But this is just a guess. 

I can run the experiment to see how it goes.

    Erich,
    
    Wouldn’t the installer build script just use the new items or are significant changes required?

        BTW, I created this story to update the installer from CentOS 7.4 to
        CentOS 7.6, in case anyone wants to participate.
