Upcoming final 6.4.1 update will remain on kernel 4.19.83
To update to a newer kernel I use the commands below. You need to specify the kernel's Git commit hash.
After the kernel update completes but before rebooting, clean things up.
You can find the commit hash in the list at the link below.
https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master
Scroll down to the desired "Bump to kernel ..." line and click on the 7 digit short hash on the right. The long hash which will be used in the rpi-update command will be listed on the right of the page.
For example "commit 16ce6121464d53a9eb9cf68afbdba7ada8ec7bcd" is for kernel 4.19.84.
Just keep in mind that if you change from the kernel a moOde release ships with and something breaks then I cannot provide any support.
