Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
Dell confirms that LSI agrees to maintain this driver for RHEL3 throughout the life of RHEL3. Providing PM ACK and placing on U&Proposed list.
Created attachment 119446 [details] megaraid_sas-v02.00-rc2.zip (from IT_79192)
Please test the kernel located at: http://people.redhat.com/coughlan/.2.4.21-37.7.ELdrvrtest2/ This contains version 00.00.02.00 of the megaraid_sas driver. This is the latest from LSI Logic and is a candidate for U7.
Is the comment #29 intended for outside partner? It is not visible in correspondent IssueTracker. (IT#79192) Can I pass the comment to the IT?
Yes, the intent is for anyone who is willing to try the test kernel. The comment should be communicated to outside partners through the ITs. Wish that was done a week ago...
Thank you for the quick response. I sent the comment to the IT. In general, can it be sent directly to IT by checking the comment with "Public in Issue Tracker" box? I understand the forwarding between BZ and IT are the responsibility of PM or TAM. But they might possibly be too busy to do it timely so it would be nice if this kind of test request doesn't need their intervention.
The new megaraid_sas driver has just been committed to the RHEL3 U7 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-37.11.EL).
Bug is public. Put all future communication in bug 168226.
The driver works on kernel-2.4.21-38.EL (RHEL3U7 beta).
