I have installed WBEL and am 'kicking the tires'. So far it looks very =
good. I'll be testing the machine for use as a RADIUS authentication & =
email server in actual production soon.=20
One thing I insist on in my servers is hardware RAID, and I have =
standardized on the Highpoint hpt372 chip. The Highpoint driver worked =
fine for RH 8 & 9, but it doesn't work at all for WBEL.
I was on the phone with Highpoint support this morning and was told that =
the RH9 driver is not compatible with the RHEL3 kernel. They expect to =
release a RHEL3 compatible driver very soon, perhaps as early as this =
week. That driver should work fine with WBEL.
