The following topics are covered in this document:
Changes to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program (Anaconda)
General information
Changes to drivers and hardware support
Changes to packages
The following section includes information specific to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation program, Anaconda.
In order to upgrade an already-installed Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 system to Update 4, you must use Red Hat Network to update those packages that have changed. The use of Anaconda to upgrade to Update 4 is not supported.
Use Anaconda only to perform a fresh install of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4.
If you are copying the contents of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4 CD-ROMs (in preparation for a network-based installation, for example) be sure you copy the CD-ROMs for the operating system only. Do not copy the Extras CD-ROM, or any of the layered product CD-ROMs, as this will overwrite files necessary for Anaconda's proper operation.
These CD-ROMs must be installed after Red Hat Enterprise Linux has been installed.
This section contains general information not specific to any other section of this document.
Red Hat strongly recommends that you disable USB legacy support in your BIOS. It has been discovered that, on some machines, failure to do so can result in symptoms ranging from loss of keyboard or mouse to crashes up to a day after boot.
Additions to Kerberos for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4 include:
Client libraries will retransmit a request over TCP if that request, when sent over UDP, elicited a KRB_ERR_RESPONSE_TOO_BIG error from a KDC.
Libraries now support RC4 cipher suites.
Applications can now access keytab files using the "WRFILE:" access method.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 4 now includes Mailman, an electronic mail discussion and e-newsletter lists system. Mailman is integrated with the Web, making it easy for users to manage their accounts and for list owners to administer their lists. Mailman supports built-in archiving, automatic bounce processing, content filtering, digest delivery, spam filters, and more.
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.
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.
Adaptec RAID (aacraid driver)
The aacraid driver has been updated from 1.1.5-2339 to 1.1.5-2361
The new driver is scsi/aacraid/aacraid.o
An older driver has been preserved as addon/aacraid_10102/aacraid_10102.o
LSI Logic RAID (megaraid driver)
The megaraid2 driver has been updated from v2.10.6 to 2.10.8.2-RH1
The new driver is scsi/megaraid2.o
The older driver has been preserved as addon/megaraid_2106/megaraid_2106.o
The v2.10.1.1 driver has been removed
IBM ServeRAID (ips driver)
The ips driver has been updated from 7.00.15 to 7.10.18
The new driver is scsi/ips.o
The older driver has been preserved as addon/ips_70015/ips_70015.o
The ips version 6.11.07 driver has been removed
LSI Logic MPT Fusion (mpt* drivers)
These drivers have been updated from 2.05.16 to 2.05.16.02
The new drivers are located in message/fusion/
The older drivers have been preserved in addon/fusion_20511/ and addon/fusion_20505/
Compaq SA53xx Controllers (cciss driver)
The cciss driver has undergone a minor update from v2.4.52.RH1 to 2.4.52.RH2
QLogic Fibre Channel (qla2xxx driver)
These drivers have been updated from 7.00.03-RH1 to 7.01.01
The new drivers are located in addon/qla2200/
The older drivers have been preserved in addon/qla2200_70003RH1/
The 6.07.02-RH2 drivers have been removed
The Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) is disabled by default in the 7.01.01 driver. It can be enabled by setting the "ql2xfdmienable" module parameter to 1. However, note that some Fibre Channel switches require updates to allow them to work with FDMI. Therefore, make sure you contact your switch vendor before enabling FDMI.
The QLA2100 adapter has been retired by QLogic. This adapter is no longer supported by QLogic or Red Hat. Therefore, the driver is located in the kernel-unsupported package.
Emulex Fibre Channel (lpfc driver)
The lpfc driver has been updated from 7.0.3. to 7.1.8
The new driver is located in addon/lpfc/
The older driver has been preserved in addon/lpfc_703/
Intel PRO/1000 (e1000 driver)
The e1000 driver has been updated from 5.2.52-k1 to 5.3.19-k2
Intel PRO/100 (e100 driver)
The e100 driver has been updated from 2.3.43-k1 to 3.0.27-k2
Broadcom Tigon3 (tg3 driver)
The tg3 driver has been updated from v3.6RH to 3.10RH
PCnet32 and PCnetPCI (pcnet32 driver)
The pcnet32 driver has been updated to v1.30c
