Ah, right.
I need to update that, there were some changes in the versionning that 
breaks the included RPM packaging. Typically the packaging from the git 
repo is only used for development as distros tend to bin it and replace 
with their own. I will fix that ASAP.

Great :-)
However, you should generate a release first (make release) and then do 
the install from the generated tarball, as this will extract version 
information etc. from the git repo. Also, you will need to install the 
initscript manually.

This is what I was talking about above, you need to generate a release 
tarball first (make release).

So, again, I would like to reproduce and solve this on CentOS / RHEL.
Can you confirm this is version 6.5 with custom-built kernel 3.16.3 ?

In any case, thanks for testing, I need that badly :-)
