PS
Sorry forgot to send a subject with my last email
A little more info:
For the default CentOS4.4 kernel (2.6.9.-42.0.10) kept up2date using yum
from dmesg: libata version is 1.20
for latest kernel.org
libata version is 2.00
so to reword questions:
1) How would I use the latest CentOS 4.4 (2.6.9.x kernel)
but also add the ;atest fixes in libata version 2.0
2) Any chance CentOS will include the latest libata 2.0 in normal kernel updates
so I could just run "yum update kernel*"
instead of compiling a custom kernel
Thanks again for your time,
Al Smith
