As of today, the Open-iSCSI Initiator requires a host running the
-Linux operating system with kernel version 2.6.16, or later. See

-for a more information about which kernels Open-iSCSI supports.
+Linux operating system with kernel version 2.6.16, or later. 2.6.14 and
+2.6.15 are partially supported. Known issues with 2.6.14 - .15 support:
+
+- If the device is using a write back cache, during session logout
+the cache sync command will fail.
+- iscsiadm's -P 3 option will not print out scsi devices.
+- iscsid will not automatically online devices.
