Daniel de Kok a écrit :

You should know that rebuilding the kernel is strongly discouraged (and
unsupported). If a driver freezes the kernel, we should preferably get
the driver fixed.

Yeah, I saw that. Except I have quite a few machines that shipped with the RT2561 wireless card (not my choice). I can't ask to replace these by something better supported, because I know the answer will be "no". And according to the forum on http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com, the driver developers find it perfectly normal that the driver freezes with SMP enabled in the kernel... and expect you to build a kernel without it.

Unfortunately I have no programming skills, so I have to do with that. I know it's a PITA.

How about

yum install nvidia-x11-drv
or
yum install dkms-ipw3945

? to name just two examples. Seems less cumbersome to me :).

Yeah, that looks pretty nice. I'll see what it looks like in daylight. Gotta sleep.
