Instalation for RHEL 5 on Lenovo flex systems x240 M compute node

Latest response

I am not able to boot up RHEL 5 on Lenovo flex systems x240 M compute node. from the docs provided by Redhat , i get to know that we can install the RHEL 5 on non supported hardware platforms also, but for me its not booting up.

Hi Anant,

Non supported means not always, we did not tested, it can also mean: The hardware vendor showed it failed to boot. Did you check the Lenovo support site for a Driver Disk, for some hardware need a specific driver that has not been provided to Red Hat or to the kernel community.

So I suggest first to check the Lenovo support site for a driver floppy image or a driver iso.

Kind regards,

Jan Gerrit

Hint RHEL 5 will be End of Life per March 2017.
