further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential
inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed
products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update
release.

qla2xxx: updated to version 8.02.00-k5. This update to qla2xxx adds support for
the following:

    * EHAFT, a QLogic host bus adapter mechanism that provides activity
information about fibre channel devices.

    * 8GB fibre-channel devices.

    * PCI EE error handling.

This update also applies several improvements provided from upstream, including
a bug fix that prevents the driver from waiting on a loop that is already in a
LOOP_DEAD state.

Hi,

the RHEL4.7 release notes deadline is on June 17, 2008 (Tuesday). they will
undergo a final proofread before being dropped to translation, at which point no
further additions or revisions will be entertained.

a mockup of the RHEL4.7 release notes can be viewed here:
http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL4u7relnotesmockup.html

please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the
release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a
link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by
bug number.

Cheers,
Don
