<pre wrap="">The ELRepo Project is pleased to announce a new repository
"elrepo-kernel". It provides the stable mainline kernel packages for
RHEL-5. The details can be found on our Wiki:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml">http://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-ml</a>
It is our intention to track upstream releases of the stable mainline
kernels starting with the two latest releases, 2.6.35.8 and 2.6.36,
built for RHEL-5.
We provide these kernels for hardware testing in an effort to identify
new/updated drivers which can then be targeted for backporting as kmod
packages. Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to
people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such
kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their
hardware working using the RHEL-5 kernel with supplementary kmod
packages.
These packages are provided As-Is with no implied warranty or support.
Using the kernel-ml may expose your system to security, performance
and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be
available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate
responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-ml
packages in regular service.
The packages are intentionally named kernel-ml so as not to conflict
with the RHEL-5 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and
updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is
based upon a default RHEL-5 configuration with added functionality
enabled as appropriate.
If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged
to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [1] and, for our
reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [2]. By taking such action, the
reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open
Source Community as a whole.
Thank you,
The ELRepo Team.
