Changes

Since 028stab082.1:

  • Rebased onto RHEL5.6 kernel (2.6.18-238.1.1.el5) -- security and bug fixes

Known bugs

  • This kernel won't boot on x86_64 with more than 8 logical CPUs (exactly 8 is OK). The problem is with the APIC driver selection.
  • This kernel won't correctly run many popular distros on x86_64 (e.g., Fedora 13 fails). The problem is with VDSO; apps segfault when calling e.g. gettimeofday(2). The boot option vdso=0 is a workaround for this.

Compatibility

  • No new issues (other than the critical bugs above, which will be fixed in the next update)

Configs

  • No changes
