Trying to install kernel headers but there seems to be a mismatch
In order to get VirtualBox 5.2 working on my Centos 7 VM, apparently, I need to install kernel headers. However there seems to be a mismatch on my system. When I run uname -r the following version is returned.
3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64
But when I check the kernels directory, ll /usr/src/kernels/, a different version is returned, as shown below.
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 Nov 23 07:12 3.10.0-862.14.4.el7.x86_64
Notice the version difference between the two. Should these two values match?
I tried searching for the 514 version with, yum search "kernel-headers-uname-r == $(uname -r)" --disableexcludes=all, but there was nothing found. See below.
Warning: No matches found for: kernel-headers-uname-r == 3.10.0-514.el7.x86_64
No matches found.
So the question is: Which headers do I install and if necessary where can I find the 514 version.
System Info:
Host: Windows 10
Client: Centos 7 - This is where I am installing Virtual Box and the kernel headers
linux windows-10 virtualbox centos7

Really wild stab in the dark -- but have you rebooted since you updated the kernel??? (you may well have installed3.10.0-862, but if you haven't rebooted since, you are still running on your old kernel)
