Updated sysreport package
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
An updated sysreport package that provides DKMS status is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.
Description
Sysreport is a utility that gathers information about a system's hardware
and configuration. The information can then be used for diagnostic purposes
and debugging. Sysreport is commonly used to help support technicians and
developers by providing a "snapshot" of a system's current layout.
DKMS is a framework for the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) method for
installing module RPMS as originally developed by the Dell Computer
Corporation.
Previous versions of sysreport package did not gather information about
Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework (DKMS). This updated package
includes this enhancement.
All users of sysreport should upgrade to this updated package, which
includes this enhancement.
