User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050322 Epiphany/1.5.8

Description of problem:
The kernel srpms made available from the Red Hat ftp site are not current.
This means that the latest GFS rpms are not usable, since they rely on a later kernel that what is available.

Since the kernel is released under the GPL, please could recent srpms be kept available.

A mailing list post on this subject has fallen on deaf ears.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/4AS/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL.src.rpm
Comment 2 Need Real Name 2005-03-28 20:55:18 UTC 
GFS needs 2.6.9-6.16.EL.
Comment 3 Dave Jones 2005-03-28 21:02:23 UTC 
that revision is an intermediate build toward U1 and will never appear on ftp/rhn.

GFS is broken if its depending on such.
Comment 5 Chris Feist 2005-03-28 22:06:14 UTC 
Since these kernel RPMS are not available I'm pulling the GFS rpms until we have
ones that will work with available kernels.
