color=#0000ff size=2>I don't remember discussing dropping RHEL4 U3, and would
like to add it back to the official list. IPoIB multicast does not
work correctly (bug 266) in RHEL4 U4, thus RHEL4 U3 is the most recent
working RHEL release in this area (unless it has been fixed in U4 errata
kernels). The new ib-bonding RPM also says it only supports RHEL4 U3 for
Red Hat releases.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
