In a post to Alan (you should have a copy of it) I told my box crashed with 2.6.18-92.1.6 (kernel panic: Not syncing). 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.bz_pre53 worked but I didn't find the source rpm until Alan told me where to find it. I have now dl'd the source rpm and will try compiling it soon. I just wanted to have one kernel with ISA support and now I have it. Building the newest kernel with ISA support should be relatively simple based on my recent experiences. Antti ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

However, I took the long path and first removed kernel and kernel-devel, then installed with 'rpm -ivh'. All went OK. Thanks anyway.

I decided to try 'rpm -e kernel', 'rpm -e kernel-devel, and then went to ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686 and ran 'rpm -ivh kernel.rpm. All went well.

Hi Antti, I don't know if you have some reason and must stay at that old kernel, but I advise you get the current 2.6.18-92.1.6 kernel and rebuild. Then you'd have a chance to get your buildid in.

I've never used --replacefiles in installing kernels but guess it works with them just as with any other files. Thanks!
