[CentOS] 2.6.18 Kernel

[Drew Weaver]

So you're the one guy that got it working?

In order for me to even get the installer to boot on a DG965ss I have to
pass these commands to the kernel:

pci = nommconf acpi=off irqprobe all-generic-ide

If I do all of that it will install, but it has no idea what any of the
devices are.

Thanks,
-Drew

As is explained at length in several places, RH/CentOS is an enterprise
distro and doesn't change kernel versions within a major release.  That
being said, drivers are among the things updated in that base kernel.
I'm happily running CentOS 4.4 on a Dell Precision 390 (C2D w/ the 975
chipset).
