Always Current Lineox Enterprise Linux 3.140 adds Update 7 compiled
from the source packages from
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/enterprise/3AS/en/os/SRPMS
Release notes can be found at
http://www.lineox.net/RELEASE-NOTES-U7-i386-en.html
(x86 architecture) and
http://www.lineox.net/RELEASE-NOTES-U7-x86_64-en.html
(AMD 64-bit x86_64 architecture).

In the 3.140 version the installation environment is rebuilt, so it
offers better hardware support during the installation. Note however
that booting from a floppy is no longer supported in x86 version. The
x86_64 version has never had floppy boot support.

New features introduced by this update include:
- Improved support for NUMA architectures.
- Addition of OpenIPMI userspace tools
  

The following device drivers have been upgraded to new versions:
- aacraid, e1000, emulex, fusion, ipmi, megaraid2,tg3, SATA
  support, lpfc, serverworks, siimage, aic7xxx
	 
Driver additions including
- bnx2, dell_rbu, and megaraid_sas
	 

The x86_64 release requires either AMD Opteron or Athlon64 CPU based
computer. Some new Intel Xeon and Pentium IV processors that have
EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology) will be also able to run this
version.
