Description of changes:

[5.1.19.6-68.0.1.el5_6.1]
- Check for mpath in the case of LVM-on-mpath (John Sobecki) [orabug 
11781507]
- Add shared libs needed for multipath executable (John Sobecki) [orabug 
10202864]
- Change module detection logic to work with 5.x and UEK kernels  (John 
Sobecki)
- When using the -v option, take out the setquiet in the initrd image 
(John Sobecki)
- Detect /etc/enterprise-release
- Don't try to reload same driver [orabug 10209399] [Joe Jin]
- Merges for UEK
  * Fix blkid scanning to prefer MD devices when we find them. If /dev/sda
    and /dev/sdb are in a MD raidset, /dev/mdX, /dev/sda and /dev/sdb 
will all
    have the same filesystem label and uuid. Nash has code that goes through
    all the blkid tags in sysfs order, and it will pick whichever one 
pops up
    first.
    This changes nash to always prefer md devices.
    It also forces a wait for scsi devices to settle, if scsi isn't 
compiled as a\  module it won't autodetect that we should wait for scsi 
devices. [Chris Mason]
  * Add udev and firmware_helper to initrd so firmware gets loaded 
during boot [Guru Anbalagane]

[5.1.19.6-68.1]
- Add module options from /etc/modprobe.d/*.conf (564392)
  Resolves: rhbz#694052
