RHEA-2023:5916 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

A new kmod-redhat-ahci package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description

The kmod-redhat-ahci package contains the AHCI SATA low-level driver kernel module that provides support to the following PCI devices:
vendor 8086, subvendor 1028, subclass 04: Dell S140/S150/S160

The kernel module delivered in this erratum has been made available as part of the Red Hat Driver Update Program. The program provides updated kernel modules that add support to selected devices in advance of the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor release. We strongly recommend that these kernel modules are only used when it is necessary to enable specific hardware mentioned in this erratum. Partners and customers should continue using the driver that is shipped in the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux kernel for all other devices that require this driver. (BZ#2233801)
