Am I doing the right > thing? Thanks! My ignorance here, is there a CentOS "Development" kernel or other option? I noticed the one in CentOS plus, but it is still based on the stock 2.6.9. I assume that's for maximum compatibility. If not, I typically use Fedora Development (fka Rawhide), although I would _not_ recommend that for production systems. Grab the SRPM from Fedora Development and see if it builds (rpmbuild --build --target=i386| i686|x86_64) on CentOS 4: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.12-1.1421_FC5.src.rpm I would at least try this one _instead_ of a "stock kernel" from kernel.org. Or is there another option that I'm not aware of? -- Bryan J.
