    • CONFIG_INET6_XFRM_MODE_TUNNEL=m (was y)
  • Removed:
    • -CONFIG_UBC_DEBUG (was y)
    • -CONFIG_UBC_DEBUG_KMEM (was y)

Compatibility

  • no new issues

RPMS

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

  • If your x86 (i686, IA32) machine has more than 4 GB of RAM, choose kernel-enterprise RPM.
  • If your x86 (i686, IA32) or x86_64 (AMD64, EM64T) machine has more than one CPU (or a CPU with hyperthreading), choose kernel-smp RPM.
  • Otherwise, use the plain kernel RPM (i.e. kernel).

For more info, see Kernel flavors.
