I am building the new CentOSPlus kernel for i386/x86_64.
It is based on the 2.6.9-42.EL kernel that will be part of CentOS-4.4.
Currently it has all the features of the older plus kernels and all
the
items turned on by the upstream provider in their main kernel ...
except
that XFS is being removed from this kernel (and added by a standalone
module that has newer sgi code for xfs).
I am not going to add patches to the kernel, but I will entertain
requests to turn on features that are included and require users to
have
to recompile their kernels (that don't require adding patches).
despite the fact that you said that you won't patch the kernel, i
can't help but submit a plea for a reinstatement of the legacy LSI
MegaRAID driver (documented here: http://www.tuxyturvy.com/blog/
index.php?url=archives/4-Installing-RHEL4-on-Systems-with-Legacy-
Megaraid-Drivers.html)
i haven't yet encountered a Red Hat/CentOS kernel release under which
the legacy megaraid driver didn't build, and i suspect this would be
helpful to people other than just me. it installs just find
alongside the new megaraid drivers and doesn't conflict with them or
confuse kudzu.
please?
