<Message type="note">
If you prefer to run a more recent Linux kernel instead of the
vendor-provided kernel, you can append the `--tree mainline` option.

Although we do not recommend it, you can also enable support for vector
instructions with the `--enable-vector` flag. Be aware that this feature
implements an unratified version of RISC-V vector instructions (RVV 0.7.1)
which requires specific development efforts.

For a comprehensive list of options, refer to `rv1 update-kernel --help`.

4. Wait for the update to complete. This step can take a few minutes.
5. Reboot the server in normal mode.

<Message type="note">
If you are updating from kernel version `5.10.113-scw0` or lower, note that
newer kernels disable vector instructions by default. Refer to the process above if you still wish to keep them enabled.
