Now that this was mentioned, we have to update them to accommodate EL6 ... :-)
Indeed. And from what I've seen you write already, that's a pretty sizeable
update.
There is also this post (linked below) in the forum, that makes building
a newer kernel as easy as cutting and pasting the instructions into the
terminal:
http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=153
I built (and am now running) 2.6.38.8-35.el6.x86_64 from F15 using this
method, in about 75 minutes, on a Intel CoreDuo with 3 GB Ram. I have
never attempted any kernel revisions or builds in the past.
The method can also be used to rebuild any package from Fedora or EPEL
into an el6 package. I also tried this as well as I needed to update the
linux-firmware package. It's amazingly easy to follow, which reminds me
I have to go there and give Thanks to the author.
