Why is kernel 3.19.1 installed when 3.18.9 is the latest released?

I'm running Fedora 21 Workstation, and I have kernel 3.19.1 installed:

$ uname -rs

$ dnf info kernel

However, https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel states that kernel 3.18.9 is the latest released version on Fedora 21:

Why is that?

Yeah, brilliant. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/kernel seems to display more up-to-date information. Thanks.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >750 is welcome to improve it.

Same problem,

Because of this kernel 3.19.1 I can't install virtualbox from repos ( I work with ). So I made a dualboot with Ubuntu.

yum install kernel-3.18.9-200.fc21 didn't work.

Is there a way to manually install 3.18.9 ???

Re, Thx for fast replay, it was my 1st question ever on Fedora :)

A- I tried to install an older kernel (as maxim method). seems to work, I didn't continue to the end because it asked me to install other and other kernel dependencies and each time it restarts downloading from the beginning :( I learned how to install old kernel :)

B- I installed Virtualbox 4.3.26 according to https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3568#c11 and all works fine.

C- Plz aeperezt what means "Also try libvirt kvm manage with virt-manage Works fine for me" - did it replace virtualbox ?? create, mount VM's ??

Thx All

Virtualbox add some kernel modules to work with its hipervisor, Fedora update its kernels faster that Virtualbox. So to use Fedora you need to find the kernel that works with Virtualbox and update all other packages but the kernel until there is a new update of Virtualbox.

You can do install your kernel following this answer:

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/51444/how-to-install-specific-kernel-version/

But keep in mine you need to ask not to update the kernel on your repo files.

Also try libvirt kvm manage with virt-manage Works fine for me
