From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686) Our development systems are running the latest redhat-6.2 updates. We are developing software using kernel-2.2.17-14 with kernel-headers-2.2.16-3. I would like a new kernel-headers package. I'll be happy if you will reassure me that the 2.2.16-3 headers are fully compatable with the 2.2.17-14 kernel. I suspect there are others with this same concern. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download the latest redhat-6.2 updates 2. look at the kernel pkgs 3. note the missing kernel-headers-2.2.17-14 Actual Results: I delayed installing the 2.2.17-14 kernel. Expected Results: Arrival of kernel-headers-2.2.17-14. Or confirmation that the kernel-headers-2.2.16-3 were compatable.
I had the same concern, but I went ahead anyway. My mistake, now i can't compile the masquerading into my kernel. It works OK on my machines without ip_masq, but not the firewall machine. This seems to be tha same as bug <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26809">26809</a>.
It appears that the kernel update which was created for RHL 7 was simply stuck on RHL 6.2. This is a major problem for RHL 6.2 since this update is useless on most 6.2 systems which need headers.
