Quadrics Linux Kernel Roadmap


Supported Kernels

Quadrics currently supports the following Linux distributions and kernel versions:

PlatformDistributionCurrent kernel version
x86-64/ia64Red Hat Enterprise Linux 42.6.9-67.0.4.EL
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 52.6.18-53.1.14.el5
Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 102.6.16.46-0.12
Vanilla 2.62.6.18

HP provide support for QsNet in their XC software stack based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server 4.0. XC users should contact HP directly for information.

Bull provide support for QsNet in their Bull NovaScale Advanced Server 4 kernel. Please contact Bull directly for further information.


Roadmap

Support is planned for Novell/SuSE SLES 10 targetting September 2006.

For supported distributions, Quadrics aims to provide patches for errata kernels within 30 days of an update being released by the vendor.

If you wish to use QsNetII hardware on a kernel which is not yet supported, you can build the modules against an unpatched Linux kernel; support for changes in new kernels is often ahead of kernel patches. Please see the Quadrics Linux Kernel Integration document for further information.
