Re: [elrepo] Should I be able to get a kernel dump from kernel-lt on CentOS 5.X

2014-04-17 Thread Antonio Dupont
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.

 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?

 Alan.

[elrepo] Should I be able to get a kernel dump from kernel-lt on CentOS 5.X

2014-04-16 Thread Antonio Dupont
I've installed  kernel-lt-3.2.57-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm on my CentOS 5.5

Re: [elrepo] How long does kernel release stay in the downloads area?

2012-10-08 Thread Antonio Dupont
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

 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.

 Alan.
