Hi all

I'm trying to set up an SL5 client for a kerberos/LDAP/NFS4 server.  I'm getting
a kernel panic on the client in certain situations (writing to a file
which I do not
own but do have group write permissions) and from the oops I think that this
is a kernel bug fixed in 2.6.20.  Sadly, yum shows me only 2.6.18 kernels and
the problem persists on the most recent (2.6.18-164.6.1.el15)

So to my question : How can one install a kernel >= 2.6.20 on SL5 ?
I couldn't find SL rpms/srpms and googling for the experience of others
wanting to do this turns up little useful info.

Any pointers on this would earn my eternal gratitude !

Thanks in advance

Jim
