Issue Tracker
2005-09-17 19:57:44 UTC
From User-Agent: XML-RPC Here is a patch to kernel-2.4.21-37.EL. Status set to: Waiting on Tech This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan issue 80013 From User-Agent: XML-RPC I've attached the patch file dell_rbu-RHEL4.patch. This patch creates firmware/dell_rbu.c, Documentation/dell_rbu.txt and updates the Kconfig and Makefile. I've verified the patch by building a kernel image. The patch was made against kernel source 2.6.9-20 taken from the daily kernel builds. This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan issue 72583 Does Dell have a RHEL3U7 equivalent of the patch they provided for RHEL4U3? Created attachment 119716 [details]
dell_rbu-RHEL3.patch
Larry Troan, please uncheck the "Dell ESG" box below. You just prevented most people from being about to view this bugzilla. Thanks in advance. Reverting to public bugzilla (undoing Larry Troan's "Dell ESG" box check). dell_rbu is in Linus's 2.6.14-final tree. There's one additional patch sent this week which prevents rbu packet allocations from being below 1MB to deal with a BIOS limitation we hadn't realized existed. Per comment #12, Ernie opened this up as a Public bug. All future activity should be recorded directly in the bug. Created attachment 121096 [details]
dell_rbu-2.1.RHEL3.patch
This patch adds the dell_rbu driver to the RHEL 3 kernel and includes support
for the packet RBU allocation floor changes that were accepted upstream in
kernel 2.6.15-rc1.
From User-Agent: XML-RPC Patch submitted very late in update cycle. Engineering/QA, can we still get this into U7? It's already on the CANFIX list. This event sent from IssueTracker by ltroan issue 80013 Correction to comment #20. Initial patch was submitted on 9/16 by Dell. Obsoleted/replaced by current attached patch on 11/15 per comment #19 above. The bug is still in the ASSIGNED state. Question remains..... can we still get this into U7? It's already on the CANFIX list. The new dell_rbu driver has just been committed to the RHEL3 U7 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-38.EL). An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0144.html |
