R710 compatibility

[Landreth, Kevin]

CentOS 4.6 doesn't, but CentOS 5.2 does in our initial testing.  Haven't
tried fedora/ubuntu/debian because they aren't part of our standard
offering.  Haven't tried RHEL 4.7 just yet to see if it's supported.

 

Our generic kernel for a RAM based image did work (based on 2.6.26)  So
it's only a minor change it seems, just the drivers have to know about
the new hardware id.

 

Hope this helps (sorry for the top-post)

has anyone had the pleasure yet of trying to install a bunch of linux
versions on these boxes (ones that arent supported)

 

such as CentOS 3, 4,5 Fedora 8,9,10, Ubuntu, Debian etc?

 

My only concern is the NIC going from a 5708 to a 5709
