HW: HP DL360 1GB Ram Single 3GHz Pentium (with Hyper-threading turned off). OS: CentOS 4.2 Dual Embedded NIC enabled USB disabled serial disabled printer disabled 2x73GB SCSI in HW Raid 1 What is the opinion of this fine list - should I use the default CentOS kernel (2.6.9-22.0.1.EL) or download from kernel.org the latest stable (2.6.14) Anyone got any clues / hints / tips on what should go into the kernel ? All views and comments appreciated :) Julian.
my $0.02 if you are going w/ RHEL use one of the kernel rpms provided. You can always add a module rpm to supplement it. Once you roll your own there might be better distros for you, since you are going to break the rpm/up2date features that make RHEL a desirable product.

Do you want to spend your time using the system and working on Asterisk, or do you want to spend your time tracking kernel changes, patching security fixes, tracking down kernel bugs, breaking rpm deps and working around that, etc, etc, etc... Red Hat puts a lot of work into making sure their kernel is solid and secure. They backport security fixes and bug fixes into their stable tree, 2.6.9. In my opinion, I'd rather let the folks that know the kernel work on it rather than spend my limited time on it. -- Jesse Keating GameHouse -- Systems Engineer
The default CentOS kernel has worked fine for me. Just an FYI; CentOS uses the RedHat EL kernel source to build... It's pretty heavily patched so if you want to use the latest stable, download the SRPMs from RedHat/CentOS and patch in the kernel.org patches. But yeah, stick with the CentOS kernel unless you have problems. -Ryan -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Julian Lyndon-Smith Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 12:18 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] CentOS vs. Vanilla Kernel HW: HP DL360 1GB Ram Single 3GHz Pentium (with Hyper-threading turned off).

The only way I can get zttest results of 100% is with a CentOS 2.4 kernel. Any CentOS 2.6 kernel I've tried (Uni, SMP, with IOAPIC enabled or disabled) gave me 99.99% at best...
