I just wanted to let you know (in case you are not aware) that the kernel 2.6.18-164-11-bug4139.4192.4196 is a test base for the centosplus kernel. When the next kernel update comes out, it will be "promoted" to the official cplus kernel. If you would like to continue using this kernel, please be sure to configure your .repo appropriately ( http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus ). Akemi
