Installation Related Notes

   The following section includes information specific to installation of
   Scientific Linux and the Anaconda installation program.

  Note

   In order to upgrade an already-installed Scientific Linux 4.x system
   to 4.2, you should use yum or apt to update those packages that
   have changed.

   You may use Anaconda to perform a fresh installation of Scientific
   Linux 4.2 or to perform an upgrade from the latest updated version
   of Scientific Linux 3.0.x to Scientific Linux 4.x.

General Information

   This section contains general information not specific to any other
   section of this document.

     o Scientific Linux 4.2 includes a technology preview
       release of SystemTap, a new dynamic system profiling framework. Users
       are encouraged to find more information and provide feedback on the
       technology preview at the SystemTap project web site:

       http://sources.redhat.com/systemtap

       Note that this technology preview release of SystemTap is not
       supported for use in production environments, and that SystemTap
       interfaces and APIs are subject to change during the technology
       preview phase. A fully supported release of SystemTap is planned for a
       future release of Scientific Linux 4.x.

     o Scientific Linux 4.2 now includes support for the
       Russian language via UTF-8 encoding.

     o In RPM versions 4.1 and greater (included in Scientific Linux 3.0.x
       and later releases), the rpm command no longer uses the name of the
       package to determine what is being upgraded or freshened (the -U or -F
       flags, respectively). Instead, rpm analyzes both what the package
       provides and the package name. This change was made in order to
       support obsoleting of packages based on what it provides rather than
       package names only.

       However, this has led to behavior changes between pre-4.1 and post-4.1
       versions of rpm when using the -U or -F flags to install newer
       versions of packages.

       For example, if you have both the kernel and kernel-smp packages
       installed and issue the following command:

 rpm -F kernel-<version>.rpm

       The kernel-smp package will be entirely removed, leaving only an
       upgraded kernel package. This is because both packages provide kernel
       capabilities and the kernel package is the primary provider of kernel
       capabilities because the name of the package is an exact match, which
       means that the kernel package obsoletes the kernel-smp package.

       Therefore, it is not recommended that users use the -F or -U flag when
       upgrading kernels. Use the -i flag instead.

     o The current ext3 file system limit in Scientific Linux 4.2
       is 8 terabytes. The e2fsprogs package has been updated to
       adhere to this file system limit.

     o Scientific Linux 4.0, and 4.1 had
       incorrect partition detection code in the GRUB bootloader that led to
       installation failure at the end of installation on systems using I2O
       based disk arrays. I2O controllers comprise many different SCSI (and
       rare IDE) RAID controllers supported by the i2o_block driver. The most
       prevalent of these are Adaptec or DPT branded, but several other
       brands manufacture cards using this controller. More information on
       the issue can be found at the following URL:

       http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/rhel.php

       Previously, Scientific Linux 4.x users had to follow the
       workaround procedure referenced in the URL in order to install grub
       and have a bootable system. Scientific Linux 4.2
       corrects this issue and now allows full, complete installation. Users
       who previously had a bootable I2O based system do not need to take
       action regarding this issue.

Kernel Notes

   This section contains notes relating to the Scientific Linux 4.2 kernel.

     o The diskdump facility has been updated in Scientific Linux 4.2.
       diskdump is an automated system that saves data from system
       memory in the event of a kernel panic or oops.

       The updated version of diskdump can now be configured to save partial
       dumps of memory, which can be useful if, for example, you want to save
       only kernel memory during a panic on a system with a large amount of
       memory. For more information, refer to the documentation included with
       the diskdumputils package:

 /usr/share/doc/diskdumputils-1.1.7-2/README

     o In-kernel key management support has been added to the kernel in
       Scientific Linux 4.2. This facility permits the association
       of sets of keys (keyrings) with processes for file systems (such as
       OpenAFS) and other applicable subsystems.

       This facility is enabled by means of the CONFIG_KEYS option in the
       kernel configuration. Keys can then be manipulated via the keyctl
       utility in the keyutils package.

     o The kernel shipped in Scientific Linux 4.2 features an
       update of the OpenIPMI module. OpenIPMI is an open source
       implementation designed for monitoring and management of server and
       telecommunications components that support the Intelligent Platform
       Management Interface (IPMI) standard.

     o Kernel and user support for the audit subsystem has been improved in
       Scientific Linux 4.2. The auditing subsystem can be
       used by administrators to monitor system calls and file system access
       for CAPP compliance or any other auditing requirement. Highlights of
       this release include:

       . Auditing is disabled by default in the kernel, but when the auditd
       package is installed, the audit daemon, auditd, enables auditing when
       it starts.

       . When auditd is running, audit messages are sent to a user
       configurable log file, which by default is /var/log/audit/audit.log.
       If auditd is not running, the audit messages are sent to syslog, which
       is configured by default to put messages in /var/log/messages. If the
       audit subsystem is not enabled, no audit messages are generated

       . These audit messages include SELinux AVC messages. Previously, AVC
       messages were sent to syslog, but are now sent by the audit daemon
       into the audit log, /var/log/audit/audit.log. If audit is not enabled
       in the kernel, the messages are sent to syslog.

       . To fully disable auditing in the kernel, boot with the parameter
       audit=0. You will also need to turn off auditd with chkconfig auditd
       off 2345. You can turn off audit in the kernel in run-time with
       auditctl -e 0.

       Scientific Linux 4.2 contains the initial release for
       audit subsystem userspace services and utilities.

       The audit daemon (auditd) retrieves audit event data from the kernel's
       audit netlink interface and saves it to a log file. auditd
       configuration variables such as output file configuration and log file
       disk usage parameters can be configured in the /etc/auditd.conf file.
       For more information, refer to the auditd(8) and auditd.conf(5) manual
       pages. It should be noted that anyone setting up their system for CAPP
       style auditing should dedicate a disk partition exclusively for the
       audit daemon's use. It should be mounted at /var/log/audit.

       Administrators can also use the auditctl utility to change auditing
       parameters, syscall rules, and file system watches while the auditd
       daemon is running. For more information, refer to the auditctl(8)
       manual page. A sample CAPP configuration is included and may be copied
       to /etc/audit.rules so that it takes effect.

       Audit log data can be viewed and searched with the ausearch utility.
       Refer to the ausearch(8) man page for search options.

     o The iSCSI initiator driver and user-mode utilities are available in
       Scientific Linux 4.2. This software is based on the
       Cisco SourceForge project at:

       http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-iscsi/

       The kernel component is made up of two modules, iscsi_sfnet and
       scsi_transport_iscsi. Running the command modprobe iscsi_sfnet loads
       both modules. If CHAP authentication is used, the md5 module must be
       loaded for MD5 support by running the command modprobe md5. Finally,
       if data or header digests are being used, the crc32c and libcrc32c
       modules are required for CRC32C support. Running the command modprobe
       crc32c loads both modules.

       The iscsi-initiator-utils package contains the user-mode utilities.

  Note

       The following should be noted when using this version of the iSCSI
       initiator:

       . Booting from iSCSI is not supported. There is also no support for
       iSCSI configuration in the Anaconda installation program.

       . You must set up /etc/iscsi.conf before using iSCSI. Refer to the
       following URL for more information:

       http://people.redhat.com/mchristi/iscsi/RHEL4/doc/readme

       . The SLP directory service is not supported.

       . The DataDigest feature should not be enabled in iscsi.conf because
       the current driver may incorrectly report data digest errors when
       there is a large amount of file system I/O.

Changes to Drivers and Hardware Support

   This update includes bug fixes for a number of drivers. The more
   significant driver updates are listed below. In some cases, the original
   driver has been preserved under a different name, and is available as a
   non-default alternative for organizations that wish to migrate their
   driver configuration to the latest versions at a later time.

  Note

   The migration to the latest drivers should be completed before the next
   Scientific Linux update is applied, because in most cases only one
   older-revision driver will be preserved for each update.

   The following device drivers are updated in Scientific Linux 4.2:

     o 3Com Etherlink III 3C59X Adapter (3c59x)

     o Compaq SmartArray controllers (cciss)

     o Intel(R) PRO/100 Fast Ethernet adapter (e100)

     o Intel(R) PRO/1000 Ethernet adapter (e1000)

     o Intel(R) Pro/Wireless 2100 adapter (ipw2100)

     o Intel(R) PRO/10GbE adapter family (ixgb)

     o Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel HBA (lpfc)

     o LSI Logic MegaRAID Controller family (megaraid_mbox, megaraid_mm)

     o Fusion MPT base driver (mptbase)

     o QLogic Fibre Channel HBA (qla2xxx)

     o SATA support (core, libata, and drivers)
