asterisk users - Mar 2006 - best CENTOS to use for latest asterisk

I am intending to rebuild our asterisk server on a Dell 2800 with Dual CPUs.
I am currently using Centos release 3.5 (Final) with the 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp
Kernel on a Dell 1750.
I have a TE410P (Quad PRI) card and a TDM card.

I remember that there were issues with the 2.6 Kernel, but Iam sure that it was
with the older asterisk builds.

Also, the new server has the X64 intel CPUs, so I would like to use the 64bit
Kernel if it is not a problem for asterisk.

Has anyone built a stable server with 64bit Centos?
If so, which Kernel?
If not, which Kernel for 32bit?

May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having
a better past.

Yup. I have Asterisk 1.2.5 with freePBX 2.0.1 running on CentOS 4.3 
x86_64 (2.6.9-34.ELsmp). Note that CentOS 4.3 has the same spinlock.h 
bug as RHEL4 Update 3, so you'll need to take that into account when 
compiling Zaptel. Otherwise, it all works like a charm.

I use the Eicon Diva V-4BRI cards (with Eicon DIVAS4LINUX built from 
Source) and chan_capi-cm 0.6.1.

Hope that helps,
Avi
