SPECIAL INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: ----------------------------- NONE SUMMARY OF FIXED ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- PATCH ID:6.0.1.100 2907932 (2907930) glm rpm installation on SLES11 SP2 fails with error modules are not suitable for kernel SUMMARY OF KNOWN ISSUES: ----------------------------------------- NONE KNOWN ISSUES : -------------- NONE FIXED INCIDENTS: ---------------- PATCH ID:6.0.1.100 * INCIDENT NO:2907932 TRACKING ID:2907930 SYMPTOM: VxFS and VxVM components fail to install post SLES11SP2 GA kernel versions (below mentioned kernel versions) 3.0.26-0.7.6 3.0.31-0.9.1 3.0.34-0.7.9 3.0.38-0.5.1 DESCRIPTION: Starting from 3.0 kernel onwards, the 3.0+ kernel versions have 3 numbers whereas 2.6 kernel versions had 4 numbers. It turns out that the logic to look at first 3 digits as the 'kern_major' needs to be updated to work for 3.0.* kernel versions and subsequently for SLES11SP2 new kernel RESOLUTION: Changed the code to look at only first 2 digits as the 'kern_major' for 3.0.* kernel versions INCIDENTS FROM OLD PATCHES: --------------------------- NONE
