 Hello Akemi,

Thank you for the reply.   The kernel-ml-3.5.4-1.el6.elrepo.
i686.rpm version of the kernel looks to be the one that I will be using to
be verified by a third party.

I do understand that this is for testing purposes and we do test thoroughly
before we would potentially use it in a production scenario.  To be honest,
I feel more comfortable use this one than one that I compiled myself, since
many others get to put their hands on it.

Thanks for all your efforts.  El Repo has help me many of times.

Best regards,

Antonio
