It is highly recommended that you run the official Red Hat Linux
kernels. By running a custom kernel, you will miss out on any security
fixes and functionality enhancements provided by Red Hat Linux, and your
configuration is unsupported.
Must be an aprils fool joke right ?
I mean come on ... The great strenght of Linux is that you can configure
and customize the kernel options to your personal needs. Am I to
understand from this warning that Red Hat will refuse support to people
that do so ? I can understand not wanting to get blamed for
instabilities that might arise from kernels patched with
unstable/untested 3rd party patches but customizing your .config (and
recompiling) on an otherwise unalterd kernel source tree should be
allowed no ?
You're reading too much in this. RH will offer no support/updates for your
KERNEL, not your entire system. Just kernel packages and related. Calm
down.
