CentOS 4 Kernel for Gen V Cobalt servers

Yesterday I installed Strongbolt in a RaQ 550 server, with the idea of compile de kernel for Gen V Cobalt servers. What fast is the 550 compared with the RaQ 4!!! It compiled the kernel and modules in a few minutes!

Yesterday I finished the rpm package of the Gen III version and if I have enough time, I will have Gen V packaged in rpm format tomorrow with the BlueQuartz package scripts.

Remember: this kernel is 2.6.9-89.0.18 and yesterday CenOS.org released 2.6.9-89.0.19 but only has modifications in two network drivers not needed for Cobalt machines.

Here you can see a picture of the system configuration:
