CentOS6: Missing Kernel Module?
Testing out tipc for cluster development, and running into an immediate snag. tipcutils was found in EPEL but despite having a “compatible” kernel, it doesn’t seem to actually work.
It’s a completely updated system, Intel i5 with 16 GB of RAM, nothing remarkable.
Any ideas?

Looks like TIPC is disabled in the CentOS kernel:
# CONFIG_TIPC is not set
You’d need to enable it and rebuild the kernel to make use of it.

Some really nice person might add that to the CentOSplus kernel config files :)
