secure path & kernel versions
anyone knows why SP 4 linux is so tight on kernel requirements? Wont even install on the latest redhat kernel update.
Right now:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 AS, Errata Kernel 2.4.9-e25-smp,
2.4.9-e27-smp, 2.4.9-e25 enterprise, 2.4.9-e27 enterprise
RH Enterprise 3 doesnt seem to be supported either ( 2.4.21+ kernel ).
What is supposed to happen if a critical security patch is out ? Can I install on a supported kernel and update it afterward ?
Any HP insider has any timeframe for Enterprise 3 support ??

Re: secure path & kernel versions
For one it is a major pain updating the kernels en recompiling those modules in, if they still work with the new kernel.
Secondly you taint your kernel and rh or the kernel hackers will become very hestitant to support you when things go wrong.
Now 2.6 has the possibility to load modules independent on the kernel version etc, so at least that will save us admins a lot of work in cases we do need it.

Re: secure path & kernel versions
It is not a major pain to update a *stock* redhat kernel with *stock* HP drivers, really not.
HP/redhat will support HPs modules even if they are tainted ( I pay a ****load for support).
I just want to know what will be the HP strategy when redhat release critical security updates... I will open a ticket, thanks anyway.
