I was barely on irc for 10 minutes before silenced the first time, and 5 or so minutes the second time. Over the course of say 30 minutes. 45 max? And no one else was talking on the channel atm. > The centosplus kernel is very clear proof that the x86_64 kernel can > be rebuilt, and built with varying modules etc. Fine, have you personally done that? I wanted to converse with someone WHO HAS BUILT A x86_64 kernel running CentOS. Still have yet to confirm from anyone in this thread or in IRC if they have, and the steps. What I have been after the entire time I have no gotten. It's been side track by biasness, the gentoo factor and stuff that did not pertain to why I entered IRC or my question? > That it cannot be > easily rebuilt on gentoo is something that doesn't concern me at all. Forget Gentoo. Have you personally done it on CentOS? I am looking for someone who has. > It could be anything from autoFU version differences to nptl not being > on the gentoo box to solar flares.

Granted it can be anything, but I doubt it's as distro env dependent as you all seem to make it. Since I was able to build a i686 kernel that works perfectly with the binary Adaptec driver for RH 2.6.9-11.EL. I am just trying to do it now with a x86_64 kernel. > Arguments of "but gentoo $VALUE" will only be answered with a retort > of "This ain't gentoo". I know, and I am not asking stuff that has anything really do to with Gentoo. I am trying to find out who has built a custom x86_64 kernel using the CentOS sources. The more I ask and less it get's answered seems like either those that have do not want to respond. And/or those that are responding have not, and have no clue about what could cause what problem. -- Sincerely, William L. Thomson Jr. Obsidian-Studios, Inc. http://www.obsidian-studios.com
