Please submit the request at bugs.centos.org. Select "CentOS-5 Plus" as the category. The distro kernel cannot be patched but this can be done with centosplus kernels.

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for this patch!

as Akemi already said ( she does the CentOS Plus kernels for both CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 ), file a request at bugs.centos.org against the CentOS plus category.
You might also want to consider taking this upstream to Red Hat ( bugzilla.redhat.com ) and see if they are happy to include it into the main distro kernel. If they do that, all centos kernels inherit the patch by default.
Hello Karabir and Akemi: Thank you very much for your suggestion. I have filed in a request in CentOS bugs system. The ID is 0003733. BTW, please be advised that the patch for VX800 will be integrated in RHEL 5.4 since kernel 2.6.18-156.el5 with bugzilla ID of 504121. It will be much appreciated if CentOS can integrate more chipset support in additional to VX800 for potential customers' requirement.

Since we build the distro kernel to match whats in Red Hat, any patches that they adopt should be in our kernels as well.

Bruce, since is going to be included within the new version, it's already in the upcoming kernel package, as you have written. Kernel 2.6.18-156.el5 et al are also available for testing purpose within my repos which are build against Centos tree. http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb-kernel/stable/i386/repoview/ http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb-kernel/stable/x86_64/repoview/
