ACPI error on redHat ES 5.3 (kernel 2.6.27.10)

[Jens Skoglund]

Hi,

When I try to build ACPI for HP SIM, I get the following error:

We are runing on rx2660.
SupportPack 4.26.

ACPI works on kernel 2.6.18-128 (RedHat standard).

Shalom,

Looks to me why you are not meeting the requirements of the application.

These HP tools are certified only on certain OS version and kernel combination's.

Is your combination certified?

I'm thinking not. These tools use system calls and are sensitive to that.

What I can see and read this is okay.
My hardware with my OS is certified.
Can't found if the version of kerenl applicable or not. Only kerenl version 2.6.

[Brem Belguebli]

Correct me if I'm wrong but 2.6.27 doesn't look like the standard RHEL 5.x shipped version which should be 2.6.18.

Have you tried building HP-Sim on the shipped kernel version ?
