As a newb I simply enabled all the repos and allowed yum to upgrade anything and everything whenever there was a new version--so I have a kernel from this completely optional "CentOS Plus" repo. The "regular" kernel does appear to have corresponding packages in atrpms. Oddly enough I can remove the "plus" kernel with yum but uname -r still shows it.<br><br>Anyway, I'll go and attempt to compile ivtv myself--I was more worried about its dependencies than anything else, perhaps that won't be so bad.<br><br>Thanks for your help!<br><br>--Pete<br><p>
