Hi,
Sorry not sure if this is the right place to ask this question.
I'm trying to find out when QME2572 (Qlogic) card became support by the kernel.
We have a RHEL 5.1 system that is moving to new hardware, however the kernel at this release doesn't support the new hardware, due to the Qlogic card change.
I tired the Redhat KB and Bugzilla. Is there a Kernel change list etc I can search. Never really played around with the kernel too much so I'm just after some pointers for looking up this information.
Offically its not supported until Redhat 5.3, I'm trying trying to research kernel info so I can tell the customer they have to upgrade.
Thanks I finally found the information after much hunting around. It was supported from 5.2 then fixed in Errata 2009:0255 (5.3 Kernel). Thanks for the link to the lkddb however I didn't know about that and it will be useful in the future.
Please note that "5.2" and "5.3" are RHEL release versions, not kernel versions.
Technically RHEL5.anything is quite old. If this is a server facing the internet, you also need security updates. You know all this right?
