And pulling from ELRepo eases the maintenance issues as well, since all their kernels are easily available via their yum repo. > On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 11:15 AM, Scott Dowdle <dowdle at montanalinux.org> >> >> Upstream has also "abandoned" a significant number of hardware RAID cards >> and network cards in EL7. I think this is a separate issue from running 32bit CentOS. In your example, the problem is potentially solved by porting the appropriate kernel module to the CentOS 7 kernel. But it's currently impossible to run CentOS 7 on 32 bit, period. It's a lot less work to try to port one module to CentOS 64bit than to port every package to CentOS 32bit. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
