Hi Mark,

I happen to have Dell R410 that runs CentOS 6. Here is what I've got (I'm
obliterating hostname below):

# uname -a
Linux *******.uchicago.edu 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 31

# rpm -qf

As you see, all works for me with stock kernel, no need to fiddle with
anything.

I hope, this helps.
