Unsupported Modules on SELS11
Hi,
I have few queries regarding support option available for SLES, before I ask you the query let me give you the background of it. I was going thru the release notes of SLES11 and in topic 9.4 Kernel Modules observed the following line “Please remember that loading and running unsupported modules will make the kernel and the whole system unsupported by Novell.”
Now usually third party software/modules are not supported by Novell and taint the kernel when loaded. Following are the queries:
1) Does this limitation applicable on SLES9 and SLES10? In my knowledge it is not applicable and SLES9, 10 and in those cases inserting unsupported modules will not make entire system unsupported.
2) In many situations it is required to insert an unsupported module, so what could be the possible solution to overcome the limitation.
3) How can a module made supported module or external module, so that the above problem can be overcome.
4) To make a module supported by novell, who can be contacted and what would be the process for getting that support.
Will appreciate quick responce
Thanks
