Sorry 'bout that. Been hittin' the eggnog pretty hard lately. 8-)
Glad you got things worked out! I've got some newfangled smaller laptop coming for travelling purposes so I plan to join you soon and convert my R3000 to a 4.2 workstation as well.

Just FYI, you might run into support issues with stock kernel.org kernels. If you really need a newer kernel than what RHEL/CentOS provides, try rebuilding from SRPM (.src.rpm) from Red Hat Rawhide (aka Fedora Development):
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/
E.g., the latest just release today is 2.6.14-1.1788:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/SRPMS/ke...
Rawhide has been pretty good on offering the latest kernel.org developments, plus Cox's patches and other patches merged to make it Red Hat'ish. Of course, there may be other pre-requisites -- something kernel.org tarballs won't tell you.
