[ovirt-users] ovirt-guest-agent issue on rhel5.5

Mon Feb 9 09:46:11 EST 2015

Hi,

I see now that you have reported that you're using RHEL 5.5 
unfortunately I have to tell you that the absolute minimum supported 
RHEL5 is RHEL 5.6 which comes with the kernel 2.6.18-238 version which 
includes the required virtio drivers.

Any prior RHEL5 kernel version won't work.

Sorry.
