CentOS - Jan 2009 - Installing kernel RHEL-5.3 on CentOS 5.2 (x86_64)

Hi

I tried to install the kernel Red Hat 5.3 x86_64 (2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64) 
with the command:
  rpm -Uvh kernel-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64.rpm
but there is problem with dependecy: ecryptfs-util < 44. How to solve 
problems with depencies when installing a beta kernel?

I'm trying this kernel to see if I get CentOS working with the wireless 
iw4965. I tried the drivers from Intel, but the compilation failed.

Thanks

Marcelo

It seems that ecryptfs-util is filesystem specific, and that's not
a default filesystem in linux, so you should be safe in forcing the
rpm to install (--nodeps --force or something).

Another option may be to get the .src.rpm and build it from source, it
may detect that you don't have ecryptfs-util and not build in support
for it or something.

DO NOT use the -U option when installing the kernel.  Use -ivh instead.

Are you doing this because the iwl4965 driver in the current CentOS
kernel did not work ??  Did you get the firmware?  Please see the wiki
for details.
