Why did the kernel version numbering change in RHEL 5.11
Issue
- In errata RHSA-2014:1959 kernel update for RHEL 5.11 was released with kernel version
kernel-2.6.18-400.el5.x86_64
- Why does the kernel version in RHEL 5.11 change? This was never the case before in RHEL 5.10 and earlier
- We were exepcting a kernel version for kernel updates, similar to
kernel-2.6.18-398.X.Y.el5
in RHEL 5.11. Why has this changed?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.11 (RHEL)
