Karl, I know that. I think you are missing the point of my question. The kernel that is on the grid is not a version of the kernel that Red Hat supports. The grid is specifically set up for RedHat - not just Linux (or by RedHat do they really mean Linux in general).
If I tried an 'up2date kernel-2.4.21-4g' for my RedHat server, you know what would happen - nothing. Package could not be found, typo try again, dont sell that here. My question is how to interpret and understand the grid published on IBM web site under the RedHat Linux compatability. Either there is a typo there or there is something to why they listed the kernel version the way that they did. Let me try asking this way. Does the grid make sense to you ? Why or why not ? How do you interpret that kernel version under the Red Hat grid ? How does it relate to the kernel versions supported by RedHat ?

They are all the property of Linus Torvalds. Redhat uses which ever kernel they want based on the functionality they want to include in a given distribution. To find out what your kernel is, type (as root) rpm -q kernel, which will return the entire kernel string, I.e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q kernel kernel-2.4.20-8 That's from my mail/web server.
