Sun May 02 2010 Jiri Pirko <jpirko at redhat.com> [2.6.18-194.3.1.el5] Well that one you have. Why do you have it? Because I guess an @CentOS.org Hat decided to build that one while all the other ones were plain out skipped in-between? My ohh my the Heart and Soul was forgotten. All of 4 - FOUR of them. Effectively your stuck with the one you got that works or you have to learn to build your own from the red hat sources. > If I just build kernels from the Linux archives, would those just work > as-is under CentOS?
