Hello Ulf,
as it's a major release, Red Hat recommands to reinstall into 6.x.
but, if you prefer doing an upgrade, you need this doc :
Migrating the AMD from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

JLL
Is there anyone that has done an upgrade of RH 5.5 to 6.x?
Any steps to think of and any packs that need to be downloaded?
Is YUM required?
Hey - this isn't bad - answering my own question.
For some reason I couldn't find it but it's in the AMDInstall manual under chapter 8 
Hi,
Customer asks if they can upgrade the AMD RHEL from 5.9 to 5.11. They use AMD 12.1.1.60. From here I see the latest support version is 5.10. OS and SQL supported versions in DCRUM
So my answer should be that Compuware is not supporting this version?
Best regards,
Dennis
Adam,
Perfect, i did read AMD install 12.2, so I must have overlooked,
Thx, Henk Stobbe
Anybody have experiance with RH6u5 in combination with DCRUM 12.2?
Henk, I can see documentation says it's supported to install 12.2. AMD on RHEL 6.5.
Does it answer your question?
RHEL6.4 - 64 Bit works well so far wtih 12.2 AMD build 555. But i am working with the new packet capture platform from Emulex called the Endace Probe which may be different enough from a generic AMD on dedicated hardware to not be a good reference. Time will tell as its a new platform.
can we get a similar listing for the current service packs for still supported previous versions?
