NOTE: The Supported Operating Systems row of Table 1 includes Red Hat Linux kernel versions. Updated or later versions of Red Hat Linux may require the use of dynamic kernel support (see "Installing Server Administrator" in the Server Administrator User's Guide for an explanation of this feature). |
The Instrumentation Service provides device drivers for the precompiled kernels listed in Table 1. When the Instrumentation Service detects that none of its prebuilt device drivers supports the running kernel, it attempts to build a device driver for that kernel. This feature of Server Administrator is called dynamic kernel support. Server Administrator's dynamic kernel support builds a device driver when needed during the Instrumentation Service installation or startup.
