Hi Willem, The later kernels support many more peripherals and motherboard chipsets properly--when compared to the stock CentOS5 kernel (a derivative of 2.6.18, as I recall?). I compiled the new kernel from source code downloaded from the kernel.org website. However, as you suggest, you could probably simply borrow a more recent kernel from either CentOS 6 or Debian Squeeze, too. Note that you must stay at a kernel rev less than 2.6.37. As of the 2.6.37 kernel, the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) is removed. Lots of code in CentOS 5 and Zaptel, etc., expect (require!) the BKL to work. An explanation of how to manually cook a kernel can be found at this website. I haven't tried these exact instructions, but, they look viable. See: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Custom_Kernel Once you're running the new kernel, you should be in good shape. The audio woes, etc., should "magically" be resolved. I hope this helps! 73, David KB4FXC On Sat, 26 Apr 2014, Willem Schreuder wrote:

Does that mean you grabbed a CentOS 6.X RPM and manually installed it on CentOS 5.X, or that you had to compile the kernel from source? If the latter, what did you need to add in the configuration that was not in the stock kernel?
