We have a recompiled version at

http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/cern/slc4X/updates/i386/RPMS/kernel-2.6.9-55.EL.cern.i686.rpm

This has other changes compared to the TUV kernel:
- added bigphysarea
- added ARECA arcmsr driver
- added CERN SCSI tape patches
- added PPP MPPE/MPPC patch
- enabled NTFS module
- enabled XFS module
- added XFS ioctl patch
- increased number of serial consoles.

so please check whether you can live with these changes...


This is from SLC4.5 (note "C"), which we have released for our machines
last week.
