Oracle Enterprise Linux support from HP

rh2281Feb 1 2007 — edited Feb 5 2007
I am evaluating Oracle Enterprise Linux and have run into an issue with the installation of HP's Proliant Support Pack on a C-Class Blade (BL460c).

Basically, I am attempting to install the driver for cciss (cpq_cciss-2.6.14-7.rhel4.x86_64.rpm) provided in the HP PSP and it complains that the kernel is not on the list of support Linux kernels.

My output of uname -r is the base 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELsmp which matches the Oracle Enterprise Linux kernel from the download. This is definitely NOT on the listed kernels in the RPM notes.

My question is this. Oracle Enterprise Linux is a branch of Red Hat. Is there work being done to make sure that Oracle's Linux flavor plays nicely with all of the major vendor's drivers?

Obviously, the kernel version listed with the uname -r command does not match any Red Hat kernel release. Thus, I can not install the HP PSP for Red Hat completely on an Oracle Enterprise Linux setup. Definitely a minus towards Oracle Linux.

Just looking for peer comments on how they are integrating Oracle Linux with HP / IBM / Dell offerings.

Thanks
Robert
