Description shuey 1999-01-04 20:54:45 UTC

Kerneld is started from /etc/rc.boot and from a script in
/etc/rc.d/init.d.  While rc.boot checks the kernel version
(since 2.1.x and higher kernels don't need kerneld) the
script does not.  This doesn't really cause any problems at
all, but I thought I'd mention it so it doesn't persist into
RH 6.0.  Removing the script (and, of course, the symlinks
pointing to it) eliminates this problem completely.

Thank you for your suggestion. It has been noted and will be
considered for future releases of Red Hat.
