Kernel
The following kernel related features and functionalities are deprecated in Oracle Linux 9.
crashkernel=auto Option
The crashkernel=auto option is deprecated and no longer supported on
Oracle Linux 9 and is also unsupported for UEK R7. Some platforms, such as the Raspberry
Pi have maximum limits for crashkernel memory reservation and these
must be specified explicitly. This option will be removed in a future UEK release.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) encapsulation enables Layer-2 (Point-to-Point Protocol, Ethernet) or Layer-3 (IP) connectivity for the ATM Adaptation Layer 5 (AAL-5). Currently, these protocols are used only in chipsets that use ADSL technology, which are being phased out.
kexec_load in kexec_tools
The kexec_load system call for kexec-tools is
deprecated.
The kexec_file_load system call replaces kexec_load and
is the default system call.
cgroupsv1
cgroupsv1 is deprecated in Oracle Linux 9 in favor of
cgroupsv2. See Oracle Linux 9: Managing the System With systemd and
Oracle Linux 9: Managing Kernels and System Boot for more information on using cgroups.
