Itanium, POWER, S/390 and zSeries
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 3 for x86, AMD64/EM64T, Itanium
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 3 for x86, AMD64/EM64T, Itanium
- Red Hat Desktop 3 for x86 and AMD64/EM64T
This update includes the following enhancements:
- Availability of a full set of updated installable CD ISO
with OS package updates and install-time support for
new hardware.
- Availability of updated Extras ISO images with third
party package updates.
- New kernel features include:
* diskdump support on megaraid_sas, qlogic, and swap partitions
* support for new hardware via driver and SCSI white-list updates
- Other kernel enhancements include the networking subsystem, the NFS
and autofs4 file systems, the SCSI and USB subsystems, and
architecture-specific handling affecting AMD Opteron and Intel EM64T
processors.
- Hardware support enhancements:
* Driver updates including
bnx2, cciss, e1000, emulex, forcedeth, ipmi, qlogic, tg3
* Driver additions including
adp94xx, dcdbas
- System tools enhancements:
* Addition of OpenIPMI userspace tools
- Security updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements to
numerous system packages
- Important: Browser re-base from Mozilla to Seamonkey
The Mozilla Suite has been replaced by Seamonkey, the internet
application suite from the Mozilla Foundation that includes a Web
browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML
editor. Users of the Mozilla Suite are advised to transition to
Seamonkey, which offers the same application functionality and
shares the same "Mozilla Application Suite" codebase as the legacy
Mozilla Suite, which is no longer maintained by the Mozilla
Foundation and subsequently will not be regularly updated for bug
and security fixes.
While this change has no immediate impact on users other than
securing the long-term availability of security fixes, it
introduces substantial changes to the Browser API and ABI.
Therefore, applications that depend on those APIs (for example,
browser plugins) may need to be upgraded as well. Current Firefox
plugins will work with the Seamonkey Navigator Web browser.
