You can apply redhat erratas including the kernel packages. Oracle supports those. Perhaps the Doc you read said to not divert from the supported Redhat provided updates, or recompile a Redhat kernel with a patch. Wayne -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Joe Hood Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 13:16 To: redhat list Subject: Keeping Up-to-Date With Oracle I have a couple of Redhat AS 3.0 installations that are hosting Oracle 11i eBusiness Suite applilcations and databases. Oracle has explicit instructions that I'm to leave the stock kernel, glibc, and compat libraries in place and not update them when security patches come available. How does one deal with this? To run Oracle my Linux is breakable.
