-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm not sure what the Centos plan is for a release based on RHEL6 but in the past they had kernels that match the usual SL5 ones but with more drivers enabled under the "centosplus" repository. The repository here works fine for SL5.5: [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=centosplus baseurl=http://mirror.anl.gov/centos/5.5/centosplus/$basearch includepkgs=kernel* gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5
Of course you need to do some excludes in the usual SL repos.
