jbaron's beta release of the -48 kernel for RHEL4 includes driver support for it, but obviously the .ko's in his kernel are for the -48 kernel. I would either have to backport the driver to the kernel used on the U4/CentOS install CD's or update the kernel on those CD's to be -48 and work with the new drivers out of the box.

I haven't taken a stab at backporting these drivers into the current stable kernels (and kernel used on the boot CD), maybe that would be easier...

you might want to readup on how EL/CentOS kernels work w.r.t KABI/VerMagic

Also, have you actually *tried* using the .ko's ? :) you might need more than just the .ko itself ( like, the dep chain )
