Please help Long complicated answer: you'd need to get the src rpm, edit the .config used to add support for the driver, rebuild the rpm.... etc. Short and easy answer "yum --enablerepo install kernel" The stock kernel matches what the upstream vendor provides. The unsupported kernel in the centosplus repository has a few more drivers built in, including bt878 support for compliant video capture/tv tuner cards. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos I think i gonna compile the kernel by myself however, i dont know where to find the kernel source code. Is it possible to get the lastest kernel source code from the kernel.org and make oldconfig and compile it? I guess i also need to upgrade the centOS stock gcc.
