CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 196

A technician installed a kernel upgrade to a Linux server. The server now crashes regularly. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

Answer options

• A. Necessary dependencies were installed for multiple architectures.
• B. There is not enough hard drive space.
• C. The server is infected with a virus.
• D. Some modules are not compatible.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because kernel upgrades can lead to incompatibilities with existing modules that are not designed for the new kernel version. Options A and B do not directly relate to the stability of the kernel itself, and option C is less likely since Linux servers are generally less susceptible to viruses compared to other operating systems.
