This is no longer needed by any userspace tools, so it's safe to

Also still used for booting mainline kernels on RHEL5 userspaces.

Really? ?I thought that was fixed a long time ago. ?What kernel was
RHEL5 originally based on?

And note that no RHEL5 user is going to be using a .36 kernel on their
system, that's a completely unsupported and unadvised situation. ?Heck,
I'd be amazed if a .34 kernel.org kernel boots on the thing, does it?


I think some people do it internally, last time I did it was to test
something I was backporting, so you want to make sure the upstream
version boots and the backported version also boots on the same
hw/userspace.

original kernel was 2.6.18.

Yes, that was the number, but does it really look anything like a .18
kernel.org release? :)

I'll test this out next week.

thanks,
