Back
Greetings,
I recently upgraded to the 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL kernel. No problems with it but...
I just inherited an IBM 3580 LTO tape drive that I'd like to use. However the
IBM device drivers are only supported through the 2.4.21-20.EL kernel.
Would there be somebody out there who has a feel for how often IBM releases
driver updates for the 3580 LTO drive? (I do not have an IBM support
contract for
the device else I could ask IBM support).
Alternatively, I might elect to roll back to the 2.4.21-20.EL kernel for a
while.
Since 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL was installed with RPM via up2date, is rolling back to
the previous kernel as simple as "rpm erase"? If not, what will get me safely
back to 2.4.21-20.EL ?
Thanks much.
