Add DL580g7 to the bfsort whitelist
Patch attached.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. @Tony, could we get test commitment from either Amazon or HP. Please let us know ASAP. Once we hear back from you, we'll work on getting some test bits out to confirm everything works as expected. in kernel-2.6.18-229.el5 You can download this test kernel (or newer) from http://people.redhat.com/jwilson/el5 Detailed testing feedback is always welcomed. Hi Tony, According to the patch, we need a updated version of BIOS, and it seems the official BIOS has not been released yet(I filed a ticket to eng-ops and it's said the latest BIOS was released in July). So where can I get the latest BIOS(scheduled for release on 19 Nov 2010) or where can I get your 'side-built' BIOS? Thanks! Eryu Guan The BIOS release scheduled for 19 Nov has not happened yet. I will try to get an ETA for the new BIOS. Meanwhile, I will try to obtain the most recent side build. I cannot see all the comments in this bug. Why is that? Are there some comments I should not be allowed to see? (In reply to comment #17) > I cannot see all the comments in this bug. > > Why is that? Are there some comments I should not be allowed to see? Comments can be marked as private, Red Hat internal-only, when necessary, but comment #15 appears to have been incorrectly marked as such. Un-privating it... Eryu, I have obtained a side-built BIOS with the correct DMI vendor ID string for testing purposes. I have reflashed the ROM in hp-dl580g7-02.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com System is ready for test.
