Please note, 3.4.19 is _very_ old, almost 300 thousand kernel changes
have been done since then.  Also, your kernel is missing an untold
number of security fixes, making your systems totally insecure.

If you are stuck at this kernel version, please work with the company
that you are paying to support it, as they are the only ones that can do
this, not the community, sorry.  Also, you are paying for that support,
please use it!

best of luck!
