Honestly?
I think you should just bite the bullet and migrate to CentOS 4 and not
try to get an older kernel to work with a newer version of Centos. What
youa re proposing is trying to get the windows xp kernel to run under
windows 9x...it just isn't going to happen without wasting more time
than if you just upgrade to the newer version outright. YOur statement
that you did not want to reload also bears testament to this.
It comes down to this:
do you really want to waste all of htis time and frustration trying to
piece together two totally different Linux versions or jsut go the other
faster, less frustrating way of migrating to CentOS-4?

Hi,
Thanks a lot to the guy that tried to help me. But i really need to
use centos 4.3 since i have 3 linux already running and i didn't want to
reinstall and reconfigure them. The problem is that i need full support
to pptp-conntract and also ppp_mppe in the kernel. I had to compile a
kernel with that modules by myself. I even tried to use those modules
already compiled for the 2.6 kernel for SME server (that are similar to
those of centos 4)
that one can find at
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/smeserver/releases/7/builds/rpms/RPMS/i586/
But the problem is that the modules install and are loaded but cannot
work together. No VPN coming into the intranet gets connected when
module ip_nat_pptp is loaded . Look at the error:
Jul 28 20:25:48 edm194 pppd[20710]: pptpd-logwtmp: $Version$

connection finished
As soon as I unload this module the connection establishes.
But I managed to get a 2.4.31 kernel running with all these modules,
namely
ip_conntrack_pptp
ip_conntrack_proto_gre
ip_nat_pptp
ip_nat_proto_gre
and
ppp_mppe
loaded so that incoming VPN connections work, as well as outgoing vpn
connections through NAT at the gateway are correctly redirected to the
server outside the intranet. This kernel is in another linux that runs
and old version of red hat. I need to upgrade this system and centos is
my choice.
So, that is the reason i want a kernel 2.4 loaded in centos 4.3 or
4.2. Actually i've read somewhere that, with compatible modutils, i can
do that, but i don't know how to install and where to find modutils (
old ones) that will let me boot my 2.4.31 kernel in centos 4, without
disrupting the whole system.
I hope someone can help me out. If anyone knows where i can find
those modules for centos kernel 2.6 would also solve the problem. Any
other solution to my problem is very welcome too.
Thanks a lot.
