How do i know that the centOSplus kernel has support for my device(in my case bt848 capture device). I must see the config file right? But rpm doesnt put that config file into /boot
if you know the module name for your device then you can check rpm file manifest to see if it contains the appropriate module
Sometimes you need to compile your own drivers, since no one kernel has all drivers. Especially out of kernel drivers.
Doubtful, a properly compiled module kernel can contain all the drivers prebuild as modules - as far as I know this is what the centosplus kernel does...
---- actually I need to build the megaraid module (not megaraid_mbox or megaraid_mm) that has been deemed by RHEL and Dell not suitable for inclusion (see release notes)...so I do build the module from the source. While I am there, I also build the appletalk module though as many have pointed out, that one is available in the kernel in centosplus.
