I can understand this as well. I realize that there are many different kernels and distros out there. I wouldn't want to be the one to have to certify all of those either.
However on the IBM Compatibility grid for "RedHat" (not Suse, Mandrake, etc) they have a kernel version listed that does not seem to be a RedHat kernel release. My question is why ? Is it a typo ? Is there some 'read between the lines' that I missed. If this is not a RedHat kernel, then why would they list it on the RedHat compatibility page ? I am like yourself and others. When you want to know if something works, then just try it out. This is what I do myself. If I wanted to see if Universe 10.1.4 will run on RedHat kernel-2.4.21-27.0.4.EL, then I install it on a test system and find out. My question is more to do with how to read this compatibility grid. Im thinking there is something I might not understand and I would like to be in the know. If there is no rhyme or reason to why they list this kernel (typo, what have you), then so be it. Then I guess that's as good as it gets and I can accept that.

That said, I can understand why even IBM would not want to get into the habit of testing their software with all the various distributions and kernel versions. You should take the matrix as an indication of the exact distribution and kernel level that IBM will support. UniVerse can be made to run on many others, but IBM will not obligate themselves to provide support on anything but what is listed in the matrix.
