Your action required: For a customer request => please ask the customer to open a FITs requirement against IBM. This will support to get this new request into our plans If any question the IBM representative can help to open a FITs Looking back over my past email, I see that Richard Lewis from IBM requested this. I'll contact him now with the information in comment 3. IBM has NAKd this request as they feel it is not very useful for RHEL. Brad if you disagree then explain the benefits of including the change in R5 for IBM to reconsider. Development Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. Reopening for possible RHEL 6 consideration. If it still requires a static kernel, it's still not very useful for RHEL. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. Bill N., what do you mean with static kernel requirement? This feature has been already implemented in RHEL 5.4, see RH Bug # 474646 Thank you, Gonzalo. It was referring to comment #3; if this wasn't useful in a highly modularized kernel, it wouldn't seem useful for RHEL. Then again, it didn't appear it would *hurt* anything, either. RHEL6 includes support for creating and booting from NSS. The NSS support is upstream as of kernel version 2.6.21. See also the upstream patch at: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=fe355b7f1c7400cbb71762a1237461be03f88265 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. ------- Comment From mjr.ibm.com 2010-11-11 13:34 EDT------- RH bug is closed, do same here. |
