1. Release Notes Updates 1. Release Notes Updates T his section contains information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 that did not make it into the Release Notes included in the distribution. 1.1. Feature Updates audit Update T he audit packages contain user-space utilities for storing and searching the audit records generated by the audit subsystem in the Linux 2.6 kernel. T hese updated packages upgrade the auditd daemon and its utilities to the newer upstream version 1.7.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes Process Communication mechanism, and the addition of this control interface to wpa_supplicant allows applications (like NetworkManager) to more reliably control the supplicant. Cisco Aironet 340/350 wireless cards were not able to successfully connect to 802.1xenabled wireless networks, often used in security sensitive organizations.
1. Release Notes Updates including mobile broadband functionality, Phase2 WPA support, and static IP functionality. NetworkManager would would cause a segmentation fault when resuming a session. T his was caused by the HAL dropping privileges before connecting to D-Bus, meaning that the HAL could not send signals to NetworkManager. NetworkManager now explicitly permits signals from the HAL. sometimes, X would freeze if the NetworkManager menu and a keyring manager window were open at the same time.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes Note the env_reset sudoers option from newer sudo will reset the PAT H environment variable. T his is different from the behaviour in sudo-1.9.8. T o keep the old behaviour simply add PAT H variable into env_keep in sudoers file. LVM-based Cluster mirroring With this update, the ability to create LVM mirrors in a cluster environment (i.e.
1. Release Notes Updates which may have caused issues in low resource environments. With this update, the driver now uses the pci_enable_device_mem and pci_enable_device functions to differentiate the resource allocations. Previously, the kernel would panic when the mptsas and mptcl modules were loaded in parallel. With this update, this issue has been resolved. Previously, system power state changes (such as hibernation and standby) were not functioning correctly with 106XE controllers.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes T o work around this, update the SELinux context to allow OpenOffice to access shared libraries. T o do so, run the following commands: sem anage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/ooo-1.1(/.* )?' sem anage fcontext -a -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib64 /ooo-1.1(/.* )?' restorecon -Rv /usr/lib/ooo-1.19 restorecon -Rv /usr/lib64 /ooo-1.
1. Release Notes Updates An issue may be encountered when using system-config-cluster to configure a Postgres 8 resource agent, resulting in the postgresql service failing to start. T o include a Postgres resource agent in your cluster, please check the man page for the agent, and edit the cluster.conf file in an editor, then update the cluster with the new configuration file using the appropriate cman_tool command.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes host channel adapters that use the cxgb3 driver the libcxgb3 package is needed, and for host channel adapters using the m thca driver the libm thca package is needed. T here is also a known issue relating to connection timeouts in some situations. Refer to Red Hat Bugzilla #470627 for more information on this issue. 2. Installation-Related Notes T his section includes information specific to Anaconda and the installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3.
2. Installation-Related Notes must reboot after completing the upgrade. You should then boot the system using the updated Virtualized kernel. T he hypervisors of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 5.2 are not ABI-compatible. If you do not boot the system after upgrading using the updated Virtualized kernel, the upgraded Virtualization RPMs will not match the running kernel. When upgrading to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 or later from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.6, gcc4 may cause the upgrade to fail.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes RAM-intensive processes optimally, 4GB of RAM is recommended. T his ensures the system has the same number of physical pages as was available on PowerPC machines with 512MB of RAM running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.5 or earlier. 2.3. s390x Architectures anaconda now supports both ports on CHPID for OSA Express3 cards. T he installer will prompt for the port number in the initial stage of the installation.
3. Feature Updates feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3. It enables the iwlwifi 4 965GN wireless driver for Intel® WiFi Link 4965 hardware which allows certain wireless devices to connect to any WiFi network. Although the mac80211 component is supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3, the symbols are not included in the symbol whitelist for the kernel. Global File System 2 (GFS2) GFS2 is an incremental advancement of GFS.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes node.startup -v autom atic rhythmbox the rhythmbox audio player has been updated to version 0.11.6. T his update provides the option to use proprietary GStreamer plugins. lftp Rebase lftp has now been rebased to version 3.7.1. T his applies several upstream feature updates and bug fixes, including: A security flaw in the way lftp quoted scripts generated by m irror --script (which could cause unauthorized privilege escalation) is now fixed.
3. Feature Updates the network to act as a debuginfo/compiler server for local SystemT ap clients. T he clients auto-locate the server using mDNS (avahi), and only need the system tap-client and system tap-runtim e packages to work. At present, this feature does not use security mechanisms like encryption. As such, it is advisable to use remote compilation services only within trusted networks. For more information, refer to m an stap-server.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes Red Hat closely tracks the upstream Open Fabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) code base in order to provide a maximal level of enablement for this still evolving technology. As a consequence, Red Hat can only preserve API/ABI compatibility across minor releases to the degree that the upstream project does. T his is an exception from the general practice in the development of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
3. Feature Updates tvflash Net-SNMP Re-Base Net-SNMP has been re-based to upstream version 5.3.2.2. T his update adds Stream Control T ransmission Protocol (SCT P) support (as per RFC 3873, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3873.txt) and introduces two new configuration options (to be used in /etc/snm pd.conf): dontLogT CPWrappersConnects — suppresses logging of connection attempts. v1trapaddress — enables administrators to set an agent's IP address inside outgoing SNMP traps.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes yum operates, thereby alleviating the problem posed by the ever-growing number of packages included with each minor release. In addition, this update also introduces the reinstall command, improves the interface for several commands, and applies several bug fixes, including: Any yum commands would fail if the -c option was used to specify a configuration file residing on a web address (http). T his bug is now fixed.
4. D river Updates addresses several bugs, including: T he squid init script always incorrectly returned an exit code of 0. T his bug is now fixed, making squid compliant now with Linux Standard Base. Using the refresh_stale_hit directive causes error message Clock going backwards to appear in the squid log file. T he squid installation process did not set up correct ownership of the /usr/local/squid directory. With this release, the user squid is now the default owner of /usr/local/squid.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes 8.2.0.33.2p. T his applies several upstream changes, most notably: the NET LINK_SCSIT RANSPORT socket is now used Resolved uninitialized node access. fixed a bug that caused echotest failure when NPIV is enabled. fcauthd 1.19 is now required for fibre channel authentication. dm -m ultipath now has inbox support for IBM DS4000. T he ixgbe driver now supports the 82598AT dual-port adapter and the 82598 CX4 adapter.
4. D river Updates the iwlwifi drivers have been updated to version from 2.6.26, adding 802.11n support to iwl4 965 wireless devices. Several bug fixes included in post-2.6.26 versions of the driver were also incorporated into the backported driver. the m yri10ge driver for Myricom Myri-10G Ethernet devices has been updated to version 1.3.21.269. the netxen driver for NetXen network cards has been updated to version 3.4.18.

Kernel-Related Notes 5.1.
5. Kernel-Related Notes Microarchitecture (Nehalem). Consequently, the performance monitoring unit could not be used and the processor fell back to the timer interrupt. T he kernel has been updated to resolve this issue. Support has been added to the kernel for the CPU power state, C3, on the Next-Generation Intel Microarchitecture (Nehalem). T he ability to enter C3 (also known as the sleep state) improves the power efficiency of the CPU when idle.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes the following: EDAC MC: Ver: 2.0.
6. Virtualization In this update, support for pselect() and ppoll() system calls has been added to the kernel. 6. Virtualization T his section contains information about updates made to Red Hat Enterprise Linux suite of Virtualization tools. 6.1. Feature Updates T he blktap (blocktap) userspace toolkit has been updated, providing the functionality to monitor the transfer statistics of blktap backed virtualized guests.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes Memory reserved for the kdump kernel was incorrect, resulting in unusable crash dumps. In this update, the memory reservation is now correct, allowing proper crash dumps to be generated. Attaching a disk with a specific name (ie. /dev/xvdaa, /dev/xvdab, /dev/xvdbc etc.) to a paravirtualized guest resulted in a corrupted /dev device inside the guest.
6. Virtualization 6.2.4 . x86_64 Architectures When the Dynamic IRQs available for guests virtual machines were exhausted, the dom 0 kernel would crash. In this update, the crash condition has been fixed, and the number of available IRQs has been increased, which resolves this issue. On systems with newer CPU's, the CPU APIC ID differs from the CPU ID. Consequently, the virtualized kernel was unable to initialize CPU frequency scaling.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes Doing so will disable the netloop device, which prevents Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) monitoring from failing during the address transfer process. When running multiple guest domains, guest networking may temporarily stop working, resulting in the following error being reported in the dom0 logs: Memory squeeze in netback driver T o work around this, raise the amount of memory available to the dom0 with the dom 0_m em hypervisor command line option. 6.3.2.
7. Technology Previews Number of data bits Parity io_base address T hese details must be specified in the append= line of the dom 0 kernel in /boot/efi/elilo.conf. For example: append="com 1=19200,8n1,0x3f8 -- quiet rhgb console=tty0 console=ttyS0,19200n8" In this example, com 1 is the serial port, 19200 is the speed (in bits/second), 8n1 specifies the number of data bits/parity settings, and 0x3f8 is the io_base address.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes FreeIPMI FreeIPMI is now included in this update as a T echnology Preview. FreeIPMI is a collection of Intelligent Platform Management IPMI system software. It provides in-band and out-of-band software, along with a development library conforming to the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI v1.5 and v2.0) standards. For more information about FreeIPMI, refer to http://www.gnu.
7. Technology Previews Stateless Linux is a new way of thinking about how a system should be run and managed, designed to simplify provisioning and management of large numbers of systems by making them easily replaceable. T his is accomplished primarily by establishing prepared system images which get replicated and managed across a large number of stateless systems, running the operating system in a read-only manner (refer to /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root for more details).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes the kernel command line. ktune may not be suitable on some systems and workloads; as such, you should test it comprehensively before deploying to production. You can disable any configuration set by ktune and revert to your normall settings by simply stopping the ktune service using service ktune stop (as root).
8. Resolved Issues Requested activities not available in file In this updated package, sar has been corrected so the -y option outputs the T T Y device activity. Previously, setting m ax_fds to unlim ited in /etc/m ultipath.conf would prevent the multipathd daemon from starting. If number of open file descriptors needs to be set to the system maximum, m ax_fds should be set to m ax. mod_perl is now re-based to version 2.0.4, the latest upstream release.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes reposync and yumdownloader from performing properly when downloading a large number of packages. yum-utils is now re-based to upstream version 1.1.16. T his applies several bug fixes, including: yum update --security can now properly locate old relevant security updates. yum -versionlock now works properly against package obsoletes. T his update also includes the yum -fastestm irror plugin, which enables yum to choose the fastest repository in a mirrorlist.
8. Resolved Issues 32-bit process is now fixed. cpuspeed has been updated to version 1.2.1-5. With this update, the cpuspeed init script now loads the speedstep-centrino module if all other module loads fail. In addition, a user-space bug that prevented the Powernow-k8 module from loading is now fixed. T he frysk suite of tools have been removed completely from this distribution. frysk was originally introduced as a technology preview in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0.

Some parts on the card are shared by both functions. However, the current qla3xxx and qla4 xxx drivers support ethernet and iSCSI functions individually.
9. Known Issues T his means that 3600d0230003414f30000203a7bc41a00 is mapped to two m path links: dm -4 and dm -5. As such, the following lines should be deleted from /etc/lvm /.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes system -config-display --reconfig --set-driver=vesa You can now run firstboot. T o switch back to your old settings, restore your original /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If your system uses the T SC timer, the gettim eofday system call may move backwards.
9. Known Issues /etc/m odprobe.conf: blacklist blacklist blacklist blacklist edac_mc i5000_edac i3000_edac e752x_edac Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 can detect online growing or shrinking of an underlying block device. However, there is no method to automatically detect that a device has changed size, so manual steps are required to recognize this and resize any file systems which reside on the given device(s).
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 5.3 Release Notes have been freed, but were not. T he number of blocks needing to be freed will vary depending on the size of the file system and block size. Many file systems will not encounter this issue at all. Large file systems may have a small number of blocks (typically less than 100). 9.2. x86 Architectures When running the bare-metal (non-Virtualized) kernel, the X server may not be able to retrieve EDID information from the monitor.
9. Known Issues On dual-GPU laptops, if one of the graphics chips is Intel-based, the Intel graphics mode cannot drive any external digital connections (including HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort). T his is a hardware limitation of the Intel GPU. If you require external digital connections, configure the system to use the discrete graphics chip (in the BIOS). 9.4.
