Greetings CentOS users,
I have run into a hardware issue with the Intel 965 chipset. It appears
that the latest kernel doesn't support the Marvell PATA controller. I
can
kickstart the computer, but after the OS is installed the DVD drive
can't
be accessed.
There are patches against 2.6.18 for the Marvell PATA controller here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/16/157
There is bug report ported for RHEL 5.0 and I assume this will apply to
CentOS 5 also.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=237372
What are my options other that to try to patch the current kernel
(2.6.9-55.0.2.EL) ?
We have a lab of 24 computer to push out before the start of the term
(Sept 5/07) ... joy joy
Thanks
Paul
I don't really see any other choice here than rebuilding a kernel
yourself. But did you see somethere that the patch works for kernel
2.6.9 as well?
Akemi
I didn't see anything that would indicate it (the patch) would work with
kernel 2.6.9. I was hoping I didn't have to split up my kernel versions,
for example a supported CentOS kernel for servers and a unsupported kernel
for the clients that have the lastest and greatest hardware. I was going
to give 2.6.9 a quick try and if that didn't work, then go to 2.6.18 which
is the base for CentOS 5.
Thanks
Paul
