<div dir="ltr">Keith ... I'm currently running a 3.10 kernel on Centos6, but I keep running into udev issues. What I found was the sysfs has changed significantly enough from 2.6.32 to 3.10 that SUBSYSTEM references in udev rules no longer resolve properly. For home use, this may not be too noticeable, but our application relies heavily on udev. <div>
<br></div><div>For my needs to be met, I'm going to need a 32bit enterprise linux 7 derivative ... CentOS or otherwise. Rather than just hope it will happen eventually, I'm trying to get involved. There were some good pointers on things that need done already mentioned, and come mid-august I'm going to be devoting a fair amount of time to these. If you guys all have other solutions that work for you instead of a 32 bit EL7, that's great. My project needs EL7 32 though, so that means I'm making something work one way or another. Just figured there were others in the community that had similar needs.</div>

</div>I am successfully running 3.14 from the aforementioned ELRepo on a<br>
CentOS 6 box. And pulling from ELRepo eases the maintenance issues as<br>
well, since all their kernels are easily available via their yum repo.<br>

</div>I think this is a separate issue from running 32bit CentOS. In your<br>
example, the problem is potentially solved by porting the appropriate<br>
kernel module to the CentOS 7 kernel. But it's currently impossible to<br>
run CentOS 7 on 32 bit, period. It's a lot less work to try to port one<br>
module to CentOS 64bit than to port every package to CentOS 32bit.<br>
