Is OEL5 or Red Hat 5.0 supported?

Question

Hi partners,
I have a customer who is going to upgrade their environment from 11.5.9 to 12.1.1, also they want to change from Sun Solaris to Linux Red Hat 5.0
I would like to know if Oracle Ebsuiness Suite 11.5.9 is certified in Red Hat 5.0?
According to Metalink's Certify tab, there is nothing regarding to 11.5.9 certified on Linux Red Hat or Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.0.
Also, in Red Hat 5.0 we don't need to define LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable which is needed in previous releases.
Upgrade path from 11.5.9 to 12.1.1 is supported, so I don't want to upgrade firstable to 11.5.10.2
Any advice or comments will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi;
RHEL3, RHEL4, OEL4 any value from 2.4.1 to 2.4.19
without setting any LD_ASSUME_KERNEL VALUE by default my kernel version is showing like
#uname -r
2.6.9-42.ELsmp
so there is no need of setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL value in my environment RIGHT?As i understand you have OEL5 or RHEL5, then in same document it says:
RHEL5, OEL5, SLES10 Should not be set
If i miss something and u have RHEL3, RHEL4, OEL4 then in same document it says:
So you should set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 which forces the kernel to use the /usr/lib/libc.so.6 because the /lib/tls/libc.so.6 is too high a version (2.4.20) and the /lib/libc.so.6 is not in the same version level (2.2.5).
As you see your version higer(if you have RHEL4 etc),thatswhy set LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 (If your version OEL5 or Red Hat 5.0 dont do nothing)
