I suspect that we will have a GMC2, but we are still collecting if more things are found. We would like to avoid having a fast GMC2 followed by another GMC3. Besides the fact that it fills up your harddrive and has some performace impact it should not have other negative impacts. It's just "too much debug output", which is bad enough :( Stefan > > The only difference is, that the numbers differ. > > After the system is booted, the logging stops.... > > I assume this to be important, so I did not analyse but report it > quickly.... > > Please advise > > Thx a lot & Br > Klaus > > Am 23.06.2015 um 12:49 schrieb Waite, Dick (External): >> Grand Wet Tuesday, June 23, 2015 >> >> I used the GMC .iso to update a x86_64 environment and noted I have a 3.0.101-62 level.

No. 101-64 is a left over in the update channel from RC2, it's an older kernel than 101-62. The build number to make sure that the kernel got updated after RC2 was too high for GMC. Looks like someone expected more internal kernel uilds than we did. The update channel will be cleaned today, then it should no longer be visible. We are sorry for the inconveniences.

Nevertheless, FIPS mode should work in SLES 11 SP4 as well, at least for OpenSSL and OpenSSH. If not, please contact us. So long - MgE -- Matthias G. Eckermann - Senior Product Manager SUSE?

Just to update everybody, Urs already checked and he was indeed manually disabling smartd in his SP3 install (he mailed me but forgot to include the mailing list).

On VMware smartmontools are not applicable too, because we are on virtual drives.

Hence, why I have 2 profiles...one efi/gpt, one bios/msdos. I have used the same profile for msdos since sles11[sp0] and for gpt/efi since sles11sp2.

We therefore put a new kernel (3.0.101-63.1) into the SLE 11 SP4 Pool channels. You get that channel if you have registered your system. Installing the kernel from there will give you the same kernel functionalities you have withthe GMC kernel, just without the unneeded log output. Note that we have cleaned the update-channels, as we do not want to have any outdated update there. This includes the previously available kernel 3.0.101-64.1 in that channel which which should not be used. We do not plan to release any updates from now on until we have the GoldMaster and start releasing our regular maintenance updates. For those who need/want the fixed kernel on an iso: We plan to release a GMC2 with that kernel, but until this happens please register and use the one in the pool channels. It's binary identical to what you will receive with GMC2 later. thanks, Stefan -- Stefan Behlert, SUSE LINUX Release Manager Enterprise Server Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany Phone +49-911-74053-173 SUSE LINUX GmbH, Nuernberg; GF: Felix Imendoerffer, Jane Smithard, Dilip Upmanyu, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nuernberg)
