Changes to Drivers and Hardware Support
This update includes bug fixes for a number of drivers. The more significant driver updates are listed below. In some cases, the original driver has been preserved under a different name, and is available as a non-default alternative for organizations that wish to migrate their driver configuration to the latest versions at a later time.
Note
The migration to the latest drivers should be completed before the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux update is applied, because in most cases only one older-revision driver will be preserved for each update.
These release notes also indicate which older-revision drivers have been removed from this kernel update. These drivers have the base driver name with the revision digits appended; for example, megaraid_2002.o. You must remove these drivers from /etc/modules.conf before installing this kernel update.
Keep in mind that the only definitive way to determine what drivers are being used is to review the contents of /etc/modules.conf. Use of the lsmod command is not a substitute for examining this file.
The following device drivers are new or updated in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8:
Added the Adaptec Serial Attached SCSI (adp94xx)
Note
On multi-node IBM x460 (x3950), after installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 8 in single node and then merging into a two-node configuration, in order to use the storage adapter (Adaptec 9410 SAS or ServerRAID) located on the second node, the following steps must be taken:
After kudzu detects the storage adapter from the second node, invoke the following command as root:
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --install --mkinitrd `uname -r`
This will ensure that on next boot, the device driver for the second node will be loaded automatically.
Manually load the module by running one of the following command as root.
If the second node has the Adaptec 9410:
/sbin/modprobe adp94xx
If the second node has the Adaptec ServerRAID 8i:
/sbin/modprobe aacraid
