RHEL 6.6 support

JJK — Tue, 11 Nov 2014 12:30:20 GMT

Will there be an update to mpss to support RHEL 6.6 (and derivatives) ?

FWIW: CentOS 6.6 / 2.6.32.504 does work with MPSS 3.3.1 (I did not test MPSS 3.4.X). The 'weak-updates' directory links in the .431 version of mic.ko, but perhaps an official "stamp of approval" would be nice :)

Thanks for the data point

Thanks for the data point that CentOS 6.6 works with MPSS 3.3.1, although that combination is not officially supported. Officially, RHEL 6.6 is supported by MPSS 3.4

Thanks for pointing that out. I see we do need to add 'RedHat 6.6' to the list of OSes under 'Downloads available'. Support for 6.6 was added as a 'hot fix' after the initial 3.4 MPSS release, so it first appeared in MPSS 3.4.1. Nice to see somebody reads the release notes :-)
