Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-01 19:34:30 UTC

Is this actually in 2.6.26 now? Do you have a code reference?

Comment 2 John Jarvis 2008-10-13 15:30:40 UTC

This is being implemented in RHEL 5.3 in RHBZ 442409 which in ON_QA

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-14 01:00:30 UTC

Since this is already upstream, and RHEL 6 will include a recent upstream kernel, setting to MODIFIED.

The feature requested has already been accepted into the upstream code base
planned for the next major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

When the next milestone release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is available,
please verify that the feature requested is present and functioning as
desired.

Comment 4 Kevin W Monroe 2009-09-23 22:00:46 UTC

Closing - included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Tested Snap4, and ehea interface works fine after the load of the kdump kernel.
