[Linux-cluster] GFS on Redhat Enterprise 3 ES

[Rob Kenna]

Well, you're probably out of luck.  We don't support new 5.2.1 users and 6.0 
support started with RHEL 3, Update 2(2.4.21-15).  I suppose you could download, 
build and support this yourself.  Still, GFS is a filesystem and includes kernel 
code which you will need to load into the kernel.
