Well, patching the kernel is not that hard if you have compiled a new kernel before.. If you have not, well, it's best to try it on a test-system first. Actually, maybe you should do that first, but I'll leave that to you. If you patch the kernel for the functionality you need then you also need to patch iptables (which together is one step). Download a new kernel from ftp.kernel.org or one of it's mirrors. Download a new POM and iptables from ftp.netfilter.org. Untar each to a separate directory of your liking. (Not sure if you *need* this step. Some people do this, me too. AFAIK it does no harm if you don't need it.) cd to the kernel directory Execute: make menuconfig (do nothing, just exit and save config) cd to the POM directory Execute: KERNEL_DIR="/path/to/kernel" IPTABLES_DIR="/path/to/iptables" \ ./runme <pending|base|extra> Patch the kernel for the functionality you need. cd to the kernel directory Execute: make menuconfig Configure, compile and install your kernel like you normally would. This would look something like this: make dep clean make bzImage make modules make modules_install cp System.map /boot cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot Don't forget to edit lilo.conf (and run lilo) or grub.conf. Don't throw away your old kernel untill you have everything working and you really want to. cd to the iptables directory Execute: make make install Make sure you uninstall the old iptables binary/package so you don't run the old binary by accident. I don't *know* if CentOS has patched it's kernels. If so; you might *need* those patches to keep all functionality on your system. I cannot help you with that. Again, if this is the first time you are building/installing a new kernel from source: don't do it on a live server, use a test server.
