Warning
Note that theKdumpmechanism might not work properly on the aforementioned RAID controllers. kernelcomponent, BZ#1061210- When the
hpsa_allow_anyoption is used, thehpsadriver allows the use of PCI IDs that are not listed in the driver's pci-id table. Thus, cards detected when this option is used, are not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. kernelcomponent, BZ#975791- The following
ccisscontrollers are no longer supported:- Smart Array 5300
- Smart Array 5i
- Smart Array 532
- Smart Array 5312
- Smart Array 641
- Smart Array 642
- Smart Array 6400
- Smart Array 6400 EM
- Smart Array 6i
- Smart Array P600
- Smart Array P800
- Smart Array P400
- Smart Array P400i
- Smart Array E200i
- Smart Array E200
- Smart Array E500
- Smart Array P700M
kernelcomponent, BZ#1055089- The
systemdservice does not spawn the getty tool on the/dev/hvc0/virtio consoleif thevirtio consoledriver is not found before loading kernel modules at system startup. As a consequence, aTTYterminal does not start automatically after the system boot when the system is running as a KVM guest. To work around this problem, start getty on/dev/hvc0/after the system boot. The ISA serial device, which is used more commonly, works as expected. kernelcomponent, BZ#1060565- A previously applied patch is causing a memory leak when creating symbolic links over NFS. Consequently, if creating a very large number of symbolic links, on a scale of hundreds of thousands, the system may report the out of memory status.
kernelcomponent, BZ#1097468- The Linux
kernelNon-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) balancing does not always work correctly in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. As a consequence, when thenuma_balancingparameter is set, some of the memory can move to an arbitrary non-destination node before moving to the constrained nodes, and the memory on the destination node also decreases under certain circumstances. There is currently no known workaround available. kernelcomponent, BZ#915855- The QLogic 1G iSCSI Adapter present in the system can cause a call trace error when the
qla4xxdriver is sharing the interrupt line with the USB sub-system. This error has no impact on the system functionality. The error can be found in the kernel log messages located in the/var/log/messagesfile. To prevent the call trace from logging into the kernel log messages, add thenousbkernel parameter when the system is booting. system-config-kdumpcomponent, BZ#1077470- In the
Kernel Dump Configurationwindow, selecting theRaw deviceoption in theTarget settingstab does not work. To work around this problem, edit thekdump.conffile manually. kernelcomponent, BZ#1087796- An attempt to remove the
bnx2xmodule while thebnx2fcdriver is processing a corrupted frame causes a kernel panic. To work around this problem, shut down any active FCoE interfaces before executing themodprobe -r bnx2xcommand. kexec-toolscomponent, BZ#1089788- Due to a wrong buffer size calculation in the
makedumpfileutility, an OOM error could occur with a high probability. As a consequence, thevmcorefile cannot be captured under certain circumstances. No workaround is currently available.
