Announcing the release of the kernel-lt-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo package set into the EL7 elrepo-kernel repository:
https://elrepo.org/tiki/kernel-lt The upstream changelog: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.4.72 The following files are currently synchronising across our mirror sites: x86_64 kernel-lt-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-lt-devel-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-lt-doc-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.noarch.rpm kernel-lt-headers-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-lt-tools-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-lt-tools-libs-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm kernel-lt-tools-libs-devel-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm perf-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm python-perf-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm nosrc kernel-lt-4.4.72-1.el7.elrepo.nosrc.rpm We provide these kernels for hardware testing in an effort to identify new/updated drivers which can then be targeted for backporting as kmod packages. Meanwhile, these kernels may provide interim relief to people with non-functional hardware. We stress that we consider such kernels as a last resort for those who are unable to get their hardware working using the RHEL-7 kernel with supplementary kmod packages. These packages are provided "As-Is" with no implied warranty or support. Using the kernel-lt may expose your system to security, performance and/or data corruption issues. Since timely updates may not be available from the ELRepo Project, the end user has the ultimate responsibility for deciding whether to continue using the kernel-lt packages in regular service. The packages are intentionally named kernel-lt so as not to conflict with the RHEL-7 kernels and, as such, they may be installed and updated alongside the regular kernel. The kernel configuration is based upon a default RHEL-7 configuration with added functionality enabled as appropriate. If a bug is found when using these kernels, the end user is encouraged to report it upstream to the Linux Kernel Bug Tracker [1] and, for our reference, to the ELRepo bug tracker [2]. By taking such action, the reporter will be assisting the kernel developers, Red Hat and the Open Source Community as a whole. Thank you, The ELRepo Team.
