• CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=n
• CONFIG_SECURITY=n
• CONFIG_GRKERNSEC=y

RPMS

You need only one kernel RPM so please choose the appropriate one depending on your hardware:

• On an x86 (i686) PC with more than 4 GB of RAM, use the kernel-PAE RPM.
• Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (kernel).

For more info, see Kernel flavors.
