#uname -r 2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64
rpm -qa |grep kernel
kernel-2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-642.3.1.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-642.4.2.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-642.6.1.el6.x86_64 kernel-firmware-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.noarch kernel-headers-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.x86_64 dracut-kernel-004-409.el6_8.2.noarch
yum update is working everyday. According to log, new kernel has been already installed. but after reboot, my OS still use 2.6.32-504.12.2.
Is there anything I can do? Does it mean that server isn’t compatible with new kernel?

Did you switched to internally managed kernel? If not, this could make a problem, as for older Droplet, it was managed from Control Panel. Look at tutorial and if this is the case, follow it and try to update again.

Btw, I’m using CentOS 6.8
