I did a yum install of modules from the CentOS-csgfs repository (GFS-kernel, cman-kernel, etc). Modprobe does not find the modules.

Upon investigation, I found that modprobe is looking in: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp/

while the package files were installed to: /lib/modules/2.6.9-22.0.1.EL/

You need to install the correct kernel module by name yum does not resolve the name. There are smp and hughmem kernel modules available.

Take a look in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/csgfs/i386/RPMS/

I hate it when I ask stupid questions... :)
