For reasons beyond my control, we're stuck on CentOS 6.5. The latest kmod-nvidia packages appear to be built for 2.6.32-573, which is not available for 6.5. Is there any simple way to get the kmod-nvidia package to work with 6.5 that I might be missing (beyond upgrading to 6.6)?<br>

You're probably going to get a bunch of e-mail telling you that you really need to be on 6.7 and stay current. If these 6.5 boxes are internet-facing it is a real problem since 6.5 is simply not getting any security updates at all. You could set up a build environment yourself, grab the source RPM for kmod-nvidia, and try to rebuild it. That may or may not work, but you can try it. The best thing is to be on 6.7; while I know that there are good reasons to ride a point release, it is completely unsupported by CentOS. Or you could migrate to ScientificLinux, where there is limited support for riding a particular point release. Or you could pay for Red Hat's equivalent product if you absolutely need that functionality.<br>
<br>
It would be interesting to me to see why you just have to stay on 6.5, but it would probably be off-topic for this list.<br>
