---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
The following topics are covered in this document:
o Changes to the Scientific Linux installation program (Anaconda)
o General information
o Kernel Notes
o Changes to drivers and hardware support
o Changes to packages
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)
