OK,
I am building the new CentOSPlus kernel for i386/x86_64.
It is based on the 2.6.9-42.EL kernel that will be part of CentOS-4.4.
Currently it has all the features of the older plus kernels and all the items turned on by the upstream provider in their main kernel ... except that XFS is being removed from this kernel (and added by a standalone module that has newer sgi code for xfs).
I am not going to add patches to the kernel, but I will entertain requests to turn on features that are included and require users to have to recompile their kernels (that don't require adding patches).
If you currently have to change the config file and recompile the kernel, tell me the config items you are turning on and I will see if I can roll them into the new CentOSPlus kernel.
I need all the input in the next few days ... so don't put it off :)
The advansys scsi driver would be nice to have. I believe you have to turn off CONFIG_CLEAN_COMPILE in order for it to become available. If doing that is a showstopper, then I understand.
