+SERIES VERSION COMMENT
SUPPORTED KERNELS:
-rhel-2.4.21 linux-2.4.21-20.3EL same as chaos-2.4.21 all
-2.6-suse linux-2.6 SLES9 SP1 kernel all
+rhel-2.4.21 RHEL3: 2.4.21-47.0.1.EL
+2.6-suse SLES9 before SP1 already in SLES9 SP1 kernel
+2.6-suse-newer SLES9: 2.6.5-7.282 extra patches for SLES9 after SP1
+2.6-rhel4 RHEL4: 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL
+2.6.12-vanilla kernel.org: 2.6.12.6
+
+NB - The patches in the 2.6-suse series should already be in the SLES9 SP1
+ kernel. The patches in the 2.6-suse-newer series are patches that
+ have been created since the SP1 kernel was released and should be
+ applied to the already-patched SP1 kernel.
+
+NB - The patches in the ldiskfs series should not be applied to the kernel.
+ They are instead applied by the lustre build process to create the
+ ldiskfs kernel module instead of modifying the core ext3 code.
