Since this kernel is more than 6 years old and there have been quite a few |
| 30 |
changes and updates, even in the area of iSCSI, is it a problem to try out a |
| 31 |
more recent Linux kernel? It is also recommended due to security |
| 32 |
vulnerabilities in older kernels. |

If this isn't possible, does searching in the "make menuconfig" (using "/") |
| 35 |
for ISCSI reveal any hits? |
