Supermicro H8DAE-2 support

[Thomas Ching]

Hi, Julian:

Thanks for your response. Our existing products (which heavily changed the kernel code) were developed based on the 4.5 kernel that's why we need to stick with it for a short while.

Is there anything I can learn on the tricks you mentioned in your email? I am open to examine all possibilities.

Thanks
Thomas

Ok so explain why it needs to be 4.5?

Assuming it does, you may be able to run it straight away
or at worst with just a couple of tweeks,
but there are tricks you may not know about to avoid running new hardware
on old systems.
