And now Rocky, for my next trick... :-) Building, testing and updating kernels is a huge task. We make use of existing packages rather than building our own so we can focus on where we can "add value" - the management layer (templates, actions, web panels) provided by e-smith/SME Server. All of the details you mentioned can be found in the usual Linux resources. The only specific detail needed is that SME Server V5 uses kernel version 2.2.19-7.0.8 And that kernel is the unmodified RedHat kernel package. The simple solution is to use supported hardware.
