Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  Load Balancer for ipv4 users on Linux       *
  *                  RedHat Enterprise Server v5                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Kernel support is needed for kernel     *
  *                      level 2.6.18-348.4.1                    *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  Kernel support for 2.6.18-348.4.1 is needed. If running this
  kernel level, the executor will not start until this fix is
  provided.
  

Problem conclusion

• Kernel support added for 2.6.18-348.4.1. NOTE-The Load
  Balancer for ipv4 is kernel intrusive and Load Balancer must
  provide a kernel module for each specific kernel released by
  RedHat. This can be avoided by using the IBM Load Balancer for
  ipv4 and ipv6 which is not affected by kernel updates.
