A. Revision History 12
1. Installation
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 introduces many bugfixes and enhancements to the system installer
(anaconda).
The interactive installer has been enhanced, adding the abilty to specify additional Network File
System (NFS) mount options when installing from an NFS source (BZ#4930521). Additionally, install
sources (e.g. kickstart files) located on password protected File Transport Protocol (FTP) servers can
now be retrieved during installation (BZ#5054242).
Kickstart
Kickstart provides a way for users to automate a Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation. Using kickstart,
a system administrator can create a single file containing the answers to all the questions that would
normally be asked during a typical installation.
Kickstart debugging and error reporting has been improved. The installer now retains kickstart
scriptlets during debugging, logs standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr) streams, and
logs error messages to anaconda.log (BZ#5106363).

Virtualization
3
Package groups can now be excluded in a kickstart installation in the same manner that individual
packages are excluded (BZ#5585164). Additionally, the bootloader command now supports the --
hvargs parameter, allowing Xen hypervisor arguments to be specified during a kickstart installation
(BZ#5014385).
Previously, the kickstart installation method offered two options to select all packages @Everything
and * (wildcard). As of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, both of these options have been deprecated.
Attempting to use a select all packages option will fail, unless the kickstart file also includes package
negation for conflicting packages. Therefore, to install all packages but conflicting packages, the
kickstart file must contain:
%packages
@Everything
-@Conflicts
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 includes the new package sets samba3x, freeradius2, postgres84.
These package sets are only available via kickstart during system installation or through yum for
existing systems.
Hardware Support
The following device drivers are now supported during installation:
• the pmcraid driver for PMC Sierra MaxRAID Controller Adapters (BZ#5327776)
• the ibmvfs driver for Power6 Virtual FC devices (BZ#5122377).
• the bfa driver for Brocade Fibre Channel to PCIe Host Bus Adapters (BZ#4757078)
• the be2iscsi driver for ServerEngines BladeEngine 2 Open iSCSI devices (BZ#5294429).
Note
For detailed information on installation, the Installation Guide10 documents how to install
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
2. Virtualization
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 delivers many updates to virtualization. Detailed notes on all the
changes to virtualization components are available in the Technical Notes11.
Note
Management of KVM based virtual guests using Cluster Suite is now fully supported.

SPICE
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 includes components providing functionality for the Simple
Protocol for Independent Computing Environments (SPICE) remote display protocol.
These components, are for use in conjunction with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization
products and are not guaranteed to have a stable ABI. The components will be updated
to synchronize with functional requirements of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization products.
Migration to future releases may require manual operations on a per-system basis.
PCI passthrough improvements
PCI passthrough allows PCI devices to appear and behave as if they were physically attached to the
guest operating system. KVM and Xen hypervisors both support attaching PCI devices on the host
system to virtualized guests.
The AMD input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) kernel driver, which assists in PCI
passthrough, has been updated. This update fixes an issue where system management requests were
handled incorrectly. (BZ#53146912)
Support for PCI passthrough using Intel VT-d extensions on the KVM hypervisor has been improved.
Devices (either physical or virtual) can now be shutdown and unassigned from a guest during runtime,
allowing the device to be reassigned to another guest. This reassignment can also be carried out live
(BZ#51681113). Additionally, 1:1 mapping performance has been improved (BZ#51810314).
Note
For detailed information on virtualization, the Virtualization Guide15 is the definitive guide
for virtualization on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
HugePages Support
New rules are available in libvirt to enable hugetlbfs (HugePages). When a system is configured
with Hugepages, libvirt automatically allocates memory from hugetlbfs to back the virtual guest
memory. When combined with extended page tables and nested page tables in hardware, significant
performance improvements can be achieved by the guest. (BZ#51809916)
3. Kernel
3.1. Kernel Platform Enablement
This release introduces support for Intel's new platforms, code-named Boxboro-EX and Boxboro-
MC, AMD's new processor family, code-named Magny-Cours and IBM's Power7 processor.

Kernel Generic Features
5
3.2. Kernel Generic Features
The recommended minimal memory requirement on x86 and x86_64 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5
is now 1GB per logical CPU.
Note
A logical CPU is defined as any entity that can be scheduled (i.e. every core or thread in a
multi-core or multi-thread processor is defined as a logical CPU).
Detecting kernel tasks stuck in the uninterruptible sleep state
In some circumstances, tasks in the kernel may permanently enter the uninterruptible sleep state (D-
State), making the system impossible to shut down. With this update, the Detect Hung Task kernel
thread has been added, providing the ability to detect tasks permanently stuck in the D-State.
This new feature is controlled by the CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK kernel flag. When set
to "y" tasks stuck in the D-State are detected; when set to n it is off. The default value for the
CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK flag is y.
Additionally, the CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC flag has been added. When set to y,
a kernel panic is triggered when a task stuck in the D-State is detected. The default value for the
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HUNG_TASK_PANIC flag is n.
BZ#50605917
Signed s390 Kernel Modules
Starting at Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, all s390 kernel modules are now signed. BZ#48366518

Filesystem/Storage Management
9
5. Filesystem/Storage Management
Improved CFQ I/O scheduler performance
Some applications (e.g. dump and nfsd) try to improve disk I/O performance by distributing I/O
requests to multiple processes or threads. However, when using the Completely Fair Queuing (CFQ) I/
O scheduler, this application design negatively affected I/O performance. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.5, the kernel can now detect and merge cooperating queues. Additionally, the kernel can also detect
if the queues stop cooperating, and split them apart again.
New GFS2 mount option
This update introduces GFS2 support for the errors= mount command line option, which may
assist in troubleshooting. The default option, errors=withdraw results in the filesystem attempting
to withdraw from the cluster if an I/O error or metadata error is encountered. The alternative,
errors=panic results in a panic in the same situation. (BZ#51810653)
CIFS Update
The Common Internet File System (CIFS) has been updated in the kernel. (BZ#50083854)
6. Tools
6.1. GNU Project debugger (GDB)
The GNU Project debugger (normally referred to as GDB) debugs programs written in C, C++, and
other languages by executing them in a controlled fashion, and then printing out their data.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, GDB has been updated to version 7.0.1. For a detailed listing of
changes refer to the GDB section of the Technical Notes.
Enhanced C++ support
Support for the C++ programming language in GDB has been improved. Notable improvements
include:
• Many improvements to expression parsing.
• Better handling of type names.
• The need for extraneous quoting has nearly been eliminated
• "next" and other stepping commands work properly even when the inferior throws an exception.
• GDB has a new "catch syscall" command. This can be used to stop the inferior whenever it makes a
system call.
Wide and multi-byte character support
GDB now has support for wide and multi-byte characters on the target.

Release Notes
10
Independent thread debugging
Thread execution now permits debugging threads individually and independently of each other;
enabled by new settings "set target-async" and "set non-stop".
6.2. SystemTap
SystemTap is a tracing and probing tool that allows users to study and monitor the activities of the
operating system (particularly, the kernel) in fine detail. It provides information similar to the output of
tools like netstat, ps, top, and iostat; however, SystemTap is designed to provide more filtering and
analysis options for collected information.
New Kernel Tracepoints
Tracepoints are placed in important sections of the kernel, allowing system administrators to analyze
the performance of, and debug portions of code. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, a wide range
of tracepoints have been added to the kernel (BZ#475710)55, including tracepoints for networking
(BZ#475457)56, coredump (BZ#517115)57 and signal (BZ#517121)58.
Note
A list of tracepoints available in the kernel can be obtained with:
stap -L 'kernel.trace("*")'|sort
Unprivileged mode
Previously, only users with root privileges were able to use SystemTap. This update introduces
SystemTap's unprivileged mode, allowing non-root users to still use SystemTap. Detailed information
on unprivileged man stap-client manpage.
Important
Unprivileged mode is considered a Technology Preview in the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.5. The stap-server facility on which it relies is undergoing work for security
improvements and should be deployed with care on a trustworthy network.
C++ Probing
The C++ program probing improvements also allows better probing of user-space programs.
6.3. Valgrind
Valgrind is used to monitor memory read, write, and allocation operations. The valgrind tool is
frequently used by developers to diagnose and debug memory management problems.

Desktop Updates
11
Valgrind has been updated to version 3.5.0, providing enhanced support for a wide range of system
architectures. This update introduces many improvements to performance, scalability and usability
of the Valgrind. Notably, the usability and scalability of the Helgrind tool — which is used to detect
race contiditions — has been improved. The leak checking capabilities of the Memcheck tool are also
improved. Additionally, support for DWARF debugging information has been enhanced.
7. Desktop Updates
OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org is an Open Source, multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes key desktop
applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation manager. OpenOffice.org has
been updated, providing many bugfixes and enhancements, including support for Microsoft Office
2007 OOXML formats.
Metacity
Metacity, the default window manager for the GNOME desktop has been updated, providing
enhancements, additional GConf keys to control the the behavior of metacity and bug fixes.
8. New Packages
FreeRADIUS
FreeRADIUS is a high-performance, highly configurable, free Remote Authentication Dial In User
Service (RADIUS) server. It is designed to allow centralized authentication and authorization for a
network.
FreeRADIUS 2.0 is available as a new package (freeradius2) in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5.
FreeRADIUS 1 is still available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 in the original freeradius package.
Version 2.0 of FreeRADIUS introduces many new features including the programming language
unlang, virtual server support., additional directories for improved RFC coverage and full IPv6
support for both attributes & network packets.
Important
The freeradius and freeradius2 packages share common files, and cannot be
installed together on the same system.
PostgreSQL 8.4
PostgreSQL 8.4 (postgresql84) is now included as a fully supported option in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5. New features in PostgreSQL 8.4 include: parallel database restore, per-column permissions
and new monitoring tools.
Important
A data dump and restore using pg_dump is required for migration from the existing
PostgreSQL 8.1 (supplied by the postgres package). Due to this requirement,

Release Notes
12
postgres and postgresql84 contain package level conflicts and only a single version
can be installed on a system.
Samba
Samba is a suite of programs used by machines to share files, printers, and other information.
The Samba3x package set was originally introduced in the x86_64 Supplementary for the 5.4
release. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, Samba3x has been updated and is now supported on all
architectures. Samba3x includes support for Microsoft® Windows™ 7 interoperability.
Important
Clustered Samba support is still a Technology Preview and only available on the x86_64
architecture.
Samba3x is based on the upstream Samba 3.3 release and includes the following changes in the
configuration file options:
Parameter Description Default
cups connection timeout New 30
idmap config DOM:range Removed
idmap domains Removed
init logon delayed hosts New ""
init logon delay New 100
ldap ssl Changed Default start tls
share modes Deprecated
winbind reconnect delay New 30
The samba source component has been refactored to generate a libsmbclient package. The
libsmbclient is included into both samba and samba3x packages to provide client interfaces to other
components in the environment.
Important
All previous samba3x Technology Preview packages must be removed before installing
the supported version of Samba3x.
gPXE
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 introduces the new gPXE package, an open source Preboot eXecution
Environment (PXE) implementation. gPXE provides the ability to boot installation images via a network
connection.
