Agreed, the problem however is that the myriad of machines I have the vast
majority do not support hardware assisted virtualization. So I'm stuck. Does
anybody know when update 5 is coming out ?

- RHEL 4 update 4 is supported as a fully virtualised guest on a RHEL5
virtualisation host. Of course, fully virtualised requires some hardware
assistance - a CPU with VT or VME .

- Only RHEL4 update 5 will be supported as a para-virt guest on a RHEL 5
virtualisation host


BTW, RHEL5 is aimed at being a virtualisation host as well as a host for
web server and other services. Virtualisation is a way of solving the
problem you have - the need to run httpd 2.0 versions. The best approach
is to run a RHEL 4 guest to host the httpd 2.0 server.
