[5.1.19.6-81.0.2.el5_10]
- put firmware_helper.static under nash [orabug 17561383]

[5.1.19.6-81.0.1.el5_10]
- Add sd_mod to PREMODS to handle odd case with HP 
V1.(jerry.snitselaar at oracle.com) [orabug 17489799]
- Also include necessary graphics modules in initrd. (Guangyu Sun) 
[orabug 16536056]
- Add fips support for kernel-uek-2.6.39-* (John Haxby) [orabug 16709263]
- Add /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 to initrd for device-mapper-multipath. 
(Guangyu Sun) [orabug 15829409]
- fix initrd creation for root on btrfs file systems (Maxim Uvarov) 
[orabug 13823284]
- Fix scsi initialization order. mkinitrd_stab_before_usb.patch (Maxim 
Uvarov) [orabug 14030199]
- Fix modinfo warning when module not existing in th kernel. (Joe Jin)
- Fix no kerver version made modinfo show warning [orabug 13784172] (Joe 
Jin)
- Fix findmodule rds recursive when installed ofa [orabug 13699238] (Joe 
Jin)
- fix regression in firmware pickup [orabug 13637902] (Guru Anbalagane)

[orabug 13624626] (Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk)
- replace deprecated oom_adj interface with oom_score_adj [orabug 
13528775] (Chuck Anderson)
- Fix mkinitrd for 2.6.39 under old 2.6.18 [orabug 13522440] (Maxim Uvarov)

Uvarov)[13459000]

- add --with-multipath option to force load mpath in the case of 
LVM-on-mpath [orabug 11781507] (John Sobecki)

   /etc/multipath.conf was not properly configured, it could result in local
   sda disks getting allocated by multipath (sda1 is busy error during boot)

- 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)
