Hello,
I'm curious where I can find the config for the kernel included with the CentOS 5.2 x86_64 installer. I need to verify hardware compatibility (especially ethernet and SATA) prior to making a purchase decision, and reckon that seeing what's included with the installer would be the most direct way.
Thanks for any leads,
/boot/config-<version> if you have a 5.2 system already running. If not you could probably just ask here what driver/module you're looking for.
Thanks for the reply, Jim. I'm curious what the kernel included on the install disc supports, more than anything. We have a workstation configuration that we recommend to labs around the university. In the past few months we've migrated a large number of existing installations from Fedora to CentOS. Unfortunately, our current workstation setup doesn't have ethernet support in the 5.2 install kernel, which became a problem when we were creating a guide for labs to follow when installing CentOS. So, we need to ensure that the next recommended system will be supported by the install kernel as well as the post-install kernel (which I understand I can review in /boot/ config-<version>).
Cheers, Ian
