6.6 kernel-2.6.32-516 release date ?

Post by karl.d.ca » 2015/02/25 19:20:56

If anyone working with Red Hat is in the know, can you tell us when kernel-2.6.32-516 for 6.6 may be released ?

Existing RHEL 6.6 kernel up to 2.6.32-504 has some stability bugs that I believe are fixed in 2.6.32-516.

In the past the 4th kernel digit only changed with a point release, so a version higher then 504 will probably only appear with 6.7. Allthough with C5 there are now jumps in the 4th digit even between point releases, but that could be due to EL5 being in production phase 3.

Thank you.

So it looks like our only recourse is to stay on 6.5 kernel until 6.7 is released.
