Obsolete as in "buggy". Specifically, I have asked our dear friend jbot
for its opinion:

<jbot> well, centosbug is a problem with the 2.6.9-42 kernels prior to
2.6.9-42.0.1. If you can't compile zaptel, do a 'yum update', you're
running an old kernel. If you HAVE to run an old kernel, the fix is "sed
-i s/rw_lock/rwlock/ /usr/src/kernels/*/include/linux/spinlock.h"

Now, if you wish that to beginners, then all the best for you.

And is that supposed to save you the simple:

  yum install kernel-devel

Because it sounds like you just did that. And a whole lot more.

Enjoy :-)

And then again, with Debian it is even simpler ;-)
