Hi,

The latest fedora kernel already has the CONNMARK support. I'd like to use it in my centos 4.2 server.

I know it is not as stable as the 2.6.9.x the comes with centos but it is an alternative to using the vanilla kernel.

I've managed to rebuild the rpm of the FC4 kernel in my Centos server but when trying to install I get

Failed dependencies: mkinitrd >= 4.2.15-1 is needed by kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.root.i686 selinux-policy-targeted < 1.23.16-1 conflicts with kernel-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4.root.i686

Any suggestions?

you need to update the dep chain downward. Also keep in mind that the fc4 kernel releases are often in quick succession and in most cases involve fix's. So you are going to be rebuilding the kernel often.

My recommendation would be to get the centos kernel, and build a patch for that - you can then just rebuild it to suit your own purpose.

I have a coupole of 64-bit machines here that will NOT boot with the CentOS kernels (including plus kernel). The kernel often panics on bootup (I've already posted this problem on this list but no remedy, yet). The Fedora Core 4 x64 kernel works fine, though. I also have no choice but to use until I can find the time to figure this out.

Try updating the bios or down grading the bios... I have a ABit 64 bit machine that had issues, but it was tied to the bios rev..

Hi Karanbir,

I am not sure I can do this. CentOS kernel is heavyly patched so trying to add the changes that enable the CONNMARK would not be easy and frankly beyond my current expertise.

Seems that getting the tarball from kernel.org the feasible way.

tks.
