[CentOS] centosplus kernel not up to date ?

2011-04-16 Thread Nicolas Ross
Is it possible that the kernel in the centosplus repo is not up to date ? The centosplus kernel I have is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 and the regular one is 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5... I need the plus because of the firewire drivers. Regards, ___ CentOS

I *believe* it's been already built. But it needs to be released. Karanbir is away this weekend. Can other dev push it? Johnny? Tru? Akemi It's not that urgent, it's just that yum sees that the update from the regular repository, and I ended up with no external drive to my backup storage

If it is the classic stack of firewire drivers that are required, and there is nothing else needed from the centosplus kernel, a good solution is to get the kABI-tracking firewire modules from ELRepo: http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=kmod-ieee1394 It provides: dv1394.ko

Because they survive kernel updates transparently and you can run the distro kernel, there will be no waiting for each kernel update. That is indeed what I need, I use ieee1394, raw1394 and sbp2 to access my 2tb firewire external drive that is used for backup rotation. I will try that on
