Unsupported Hardware Detected alert during RHEL install.
- While installing our RHEL6 baseline on a physical server, received the following alert "Unsupported Hardware Detected".
- I pressed the OK button and the installation proceeded. This resulted in a correctly installed system, everything seems to work correct.
- how can I find more information about on what part(s) of the system is found to be unsupported, how does this work?
- According to Red Hat certification listings the server is certified on the version being installed/used.
- Why "hardware compatibility" warning message is seen while booting Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 update 3 ?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 and below.
- Intel Family 6 Processors
