Hi John,

If you'd like to switch to using elrepo's kernel, the cfg file offered
by Phil should work. But if you'd rather keep using the CentOS altarch
kernel, then it's best to ask on the centos-devel mailing list. This
is because the maintainer of the altarch kernel, @pgreco, is not on
this list.
