So I just looked at the CentOS git here: https://git.centos.org/summary/rpms!kernel-aarch64 The SPEC file shows: %define rpmversion 4.2.0 %define pkgrelease 0.21.el7 But: $ rpm -qa | grep kernel-4 kernel-4.2.0-0.26.el7.1.aarch64 $ uname -r 4.2.0-0.26.el7.1.aarch64 So where is the branch containing the latest 4.2.0-0.26.el7? Also, I only see one patch: linux-kernel-test.patch Is that really it? No special patches required to make the X-Gene work fully? Another thing to consider is that 4.2.x is long EOL-ed (4.3.x is also EOL-ed now). Michael, did you build your 4.5.x kernel as an rpm or standalone? Are there any special steps required other than "make all", copying the DTBs to /boot/dtb-<kernel version> and dracut-ing a new initrd? Gordan
