I was hoping I didn't have to split up my kernel versions, for example a supported CentOS kernel for servers and a unsupported kernel for the clients that have the lastest and greatest hardware. I was going to give 2.6.9 a quick try and if that didn't work, then go to 2.6.18 which is the base for CentOS 5. Thanks Paul -
