Description RHEL Program Management 2007-12-13 21:08:51 UTC
This bug has been copied from bug #385351 and has been proposed
to be backported to 5.1 z-stream (EUS).

Comment 3 Richard A Lary 2008-01-07 16:18:46 UTC
Is there an outlook for if/when this requested driver update will be released 
in a RHEL5.1 kernel update?

Comment 4 Andrius Benokraitis 2008-01-07 16:25:41 UTC
Richard, this bug is on the list for inclusion on our next kernel update. Due to
security embargoes, etc,., I can't tell you that date here. Please contact your
IBM Partner Manager, or me directly.

Comment 7 Anton Arapov 2008-01-18 12:28:08 UTC
A patch for this issue has been included in build 2.6.18-53.1.7.el5.

Comment 9 Chip Coldwell 2008-01-21 21:14:32 UTC
I have verified that this patch is in 2.6.18-53.1.8.el5, and successfully booted
that kernel on a system that has it's root filesystem on an lpfc device.

Laurie, I've just been notified for our EUS team that this fix has been pushed
out to around the end of March 2008.
