Created attachment 90859 [details] Additional PLATYPUS vendor line.
I'm passing this request on to our storage specialist for adding to the sourcebase.
This has been checked in for RHEL 2.1, x86 and ia64. (Based on the kernel version you running, I see you are running RHEL 2.1, not RHL 8.0) I also submitted this to Marcelo and Alan, so all future kernels should have it.
*** Bug 87850 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Since it's been almost 6 months since the patch was checked in, with no comments saying that it was not actually fixed, I'm closing this. Please reopen if the problem still exists.
