This is no longer needed by any userspace tools, so it's safe to remove.
Also still used for booting mainline kernels on RHEL5 userspaces.
Really? ?I thought that was fixed a long time ago. ?What kernel was RHEL5 originally based on?
And note that no RHEL5 user is going to be using a .36 kernel on their system, that's a completely unsupported and unadvised situation. ?Heck, I'd be amazed if a .34 kernel.org kernel boots on the thing, does it?
I think some people do it internally, last time I did it was to test something I was backporting, so you want to make sure the upstream version boots and the backported version also boots on the same hw/userspace.
original kernel was 2.6.18.
Yes, that was the number, but does it really look anything like a .18 kernel.org release? :)
I'll test this out next week.
