Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2009-02-16 15:18:37 UTC

Updating PM score.

Comment 2 Jesse Larrew 2009-05-01 19:58:46 UTC

According to Adaptec, their latest driver update will break kABI for RHEL 5. They will submit it for RHEL 6.0 instead. No further updates are expected from Adaptec for 5.4.

Comment 3 Andrius Benokraitis 2009-05-13 14:16:38 UTC

given Comment #2 - closing as WONTFIX. I'm assuming there is a bugzilla somewhere for RHEL 6 tracking of aic94xx?
