Description Jon Masters 2010-08-28 09:31:12 UTC

Description of problem:

WE need to issue a Z-stream update for RHEL6.0 removing the special-case installonly for RPMs providing "kernel-modules". We don't ship any modules requiring this in RHEL6 (kernel is separate in the yum handling) and this harms upgrades of driver updates. Please work with me to test and get an update ready for RHEL6.0 Z-stream.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-28 09:47:46 UTC

Thank you for your bug report. This issue was evaluated for inclusion
in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Unfortunately, we
are unable to address this request in the current release. Because we
are in the final stage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 development, only
significant, release-blocking issues involving serious regressions and
data corruption can be considered.

If you believe this issue meets the release blocking criteria as
defined and communicated to you by your Red Hat Support representative,
please ask your representative to file this issue as a blocker for the
current release. Otherwise, ask that it be evaluated for inclusion in
the next minor release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
