</div> *All* bets are off with this. It's unsupported and for good<br>
reason. Redhat has, literally, *many hundreds* of patches in the<br>
kernels they ship that the vanilla kernel kits don't provide,<br>
it is entirely likely hardware support is different including<br>
drivers.<br>
<br><br></blockquote><div>That's exactly what I was wondering about. That said, I'm willing to sort through it all if I can just find the right docs, but I'm just inexperienced enough that I don't know where to start looking. <br>
<br>Redhat has a kernel src rpm available. Is that patched? If I started with the vanilla kernel, where might I find guidance on how to apply the Redhat patches? Is this a completely crazy idea? <br></div></div>
