CentOS - Oct 2007 - Centos 5.0 Intel G33/P35 Chipset Support (Asus P5K-VM, P5KC)

I have 2 new boxes that I cannot use yet because of
problems supporting these newer chipsets in 5.1.  Does
anyone know when the CD version of 5.0 x86-64 that has
support for these chipsets be available on any on a
Centos mirror?  

Has the support for these chipsets been added to yum
yet?

Here are my latest results with these chipsets and
Centos 5.1

1. Asus P5K, E6850, P35 Chipset:  Does not boot or
install without "acpi=off all-generic-ide irqpoll
nommconf"

Also, when it does boot it does not recognize LAN and
video hangs loading gnome.  I tried install the Asus
Linux driver for the mobo but 'make install' produces
error that kernel sources cannot be found.

2. Asus P5K-VM, Q6600, G33 chipset:  Installs and
boots as long as "acpi=off" switch used.  But I
understand this disables multi-core support. LAN and
video are working.

thx

-- Mike

I do see the DVD image on David Hrb??'s website which
I believe is in Czechoslovakia.  But was asking
whether there is a CD version and are the updates on
any the mirrors?

I suppose worse case scenario is he has all the fixes
is dealing with the download time, buying a DVD drive,
blank DVDs and reinstalling both boxes from scratch
with them.

Not the best case and was hoping to avoid that.

So the update is not on any mirror or anywhere else
besides Dave's site on DVD?

In otherwords to fix this there is no choice but to
reinstall from DVD or CD through his ISO?

David, 

Do you think you can put up the x86_64 of the Kernel
RPMS?

btw - I also sent you an email since the md5.txt does
not match the delta dvd and I am getting block size
not matching the image length in patching.

thx
