Hello all,
There is kernel-smp-2.6.9-48 from Jason Baron at http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/rhel4/ Can anyone advice where I can find RPMs of this kernel version for CentOS 4.4 ? Or how it can be created...

and how does that differ from the current kernel-2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp ?

I've troubles with Marvell GE Lan [88E8052] on Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro m/b.
Bug is described here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216799
And the problem is still active with latest 2.6.9-42.0.8 kernel version.
It is very possible I need this patch http://people.redhat.com/agospoda/rhel4/gtest/sky2-tx-hang.patch for the kernel.
What you can advise?

There are some test kernels on http://dev.centos.org/ - this one is not in there. But you can use the one from your url above on CentOS.

Just for the record ... that link is RHEL testing kernels.
Those kernels are not deemed stable or have not passed QA.
At random intervals throughout the build cycle, kernels get released there for testing (usually in relation to a bug from the redhat bugzilla).
Sometimes we (CentOS) will be a kernel or maybe a couple and put them in our Testing Repo:
http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories
We do it for the same reason that the upstream guys do, to test fixes to bugs in the CentOS Bug Tracker or because we need a feature in the newer kernel, etc.
You can get the RPMS of the RH kernels directly from the above link, and they will work on CentOS. If we have a kernel built that will do what you want in the testing repo, I would use it, as it was complied on CentOS as signed by a CentOS key ... but there is very little that is different and the jbaron kernels should work OK on CentOS.
Please do understand the there are possible regressions and possible security updates missing from those kernels, as they are "Testing" and not official "QA'ed" kernels.
They may fix a major problem, and you may want to use them ... and by all means, do use them if they make your machine work ... just remember that they need upgraded AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ... for they are _TESTING_ kernels :P
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
P.S. - Did I mention that those are testing kernels :P

Johnny,
You forgot to mention one thing.
That Those Kernels are TESTING KERNELS! ;-P

There will still be some that doesn't get it..
Those test kernels are TESTING KERNELS for TEST USE. You should TEST your restore procedures before you TEST any of the TESTING KERNELS for TEST USE. TESTING KERNELS can DESTROY your DATA any time, just like ANY COMPUTER can at any given moment. BACKUP often, BACKUP freqently. And TEST everything. You can now proceed to the TESTING KERNELS.
