This is not really a bug, because Red Hat Linux does not support user compiled kernels. You're free to compile and use your own kernel of course, but problems introduced by doing so, that are not reproduceable with the supplied kernels, are not generally considered bugs. If you can cause a reproduceable problem by using the Red Hat supplied kernel, then it is something worthy of investigating further. This is a problem of scripts that do not check return values, and is independent of kernel, other than being 2.4.x series. If a RH kernel has iptables module loaded, it likely will behave the same way. I am running XFS filesystem on my root partition, so I can't check this without reformatting my whole system, and I am not willing to do this. Other people I have talked to believe the problem is with scripts that fail to check all return values. The bug report may be closed, but I believe the bug continues to exist. |
