Re: [elrepo] Should I be able to get a kernel dump from kernel-lt on CentOS 5.X
Thanks Alan. Understood. I'll build a debug version. It's just so nice to install the RPM instead of doing a compile on my slow test machine. Thanks for the reply and all you guys do.

Regards, Antonio Sorry but kernel-lt-3.2.57-1.el5.elrepo is just a standard kernel package and not a debug kernel package. The ELRepo Project does not build any kernel-{lt|ml}-debug packages. To use the CentOS/RHEL analogy, the standard kernel package is kernel-2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 and the debug kernel package is kernel-debug-2.6.18-371.6.1.el5 Notice the difference in the package names?

Re: [elrepo] How long does kernel release stay in the downloads area?
Hello Alan, I see that there are now a few previous versions of the El Repo built kernel and wanted to thank you. This really helps in the verification of my builds against a third party since they are able to test with the same kernel I used when I made my build. This is very much appreciated. And I understand these kernels are for development purposes and will do heavy testing if I use otherwise. Thank you and best regards, Antonio On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 11:05 AM, Alan Bartlett a...@elrepo.org wrote: A couple of quick comments from me. An upstream bug-fix to kernel-ml-3.5.4-1.el6.elrepo, that is kernel-ml-3.5.5-1.el6.elrepo, is currently in the build-queue and will be released later today. The successor to the kernel-ml-3.5.x package, kernel-ml-3.6.0-1.el6.elrepo is currently being configured, verified, etc, and, all being well, should be released this week. Hence the kernel-ml package is one that constantly evolves and progresses in a forwards direction.
