It works fine with RHEL 4 2.6.9-5.ELsmp. I downloaded linux-2.6.12.6.tar.gz and compiled it. The .config file is a copy of /boot/config-2.6.9-5.ELsmp and modified by running make xconfig(just add LSISAS1064e support. After I reboot with the new kernel, I got this error message at the very beginning of the boot process: .......
