A: The following table lists the Linux kernel versions against which the given versions of the Open vSwitch kernel module will successfully build. The Linux kernel versions are upstream kernel versions, so Linux kernels modified from the upstream sources may not build in some cases even if they are based on a supported version. This is most notably true of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) kernels, which are extensively modified from upstream. | Open vSwitch | Linux kernel |:------------:|:-------------: | 1.4.x | 2.6.18 to 3.2 | 1.5.x | 2.6.18 to 3.2 | 1.6.x | 2.6.18 to 3.2 | 1.7.x | 2.6.18 to 3.3 | 1.8.x | 2.6.18 to 3.4 | 1.9.x | 2.6.18 to 3.8 | 1.10.x | 2.6.18 to 3.8 | 1.11.x | 2.6.18 to 3.8 | 2.0.x | 2.6.32 to 3.10 | 2.1.x | 2.6.32 to 3.11 | 2.3.x | 2.6.32 to 3.14 | 2.4.x | 2.6.32 to 4.0 | 2.5.x | 2.6.32 to 4.3
ah, they finally updated that, thanks
