Custom kernels
Anyone notice btw (or is it old news) that the RHN-applet issues this warning
when running a custom kernel :
You are running kernel-xxxcustom, but it is not installed in RPM format. 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 ?
Just my two cents worth.
