If you want a Red Hat (or Centos) compatible-ish kernel package for 2.6.31, you could consider the rawhide source rpms from the fedora project... That would at least let you see the patches and configs applied. # yum --enablerepo=rawhide list kernel* [...] Available Packages kernel.i686 2.6.31-23.fc12 rawhide kernel-PAE.i686 2.6.31-23.fc12 rawhide [...] With the source RPMs from those you may have better luck - they include any patches applied during the build process. (with the added bonus that you could end up with a kernel RPM not just a binary an modules, which can be easily installed and removed, creating the initrd where appropriate) Kind Regards, Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA etc. "It's today!" said Piglet.
