It is partially compatible (if you don't use nptl) and I use 2.4.23 on Shrike without any problem. > Forgive me these - maybe stupid - questions but I am a "greenhorn" as to > kernel matters... Search through mail list archives (fedora-list and shrike-list) and you will find detail explanation of Red Hat kernel versions. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
