Assigning to Ingo since his name appears inside the patch ;) Ingo, I know that APM isn't SMP safe due to BIOS restrictions, but if the above patch is harmless enough I guess we could merge it into RHEL3 to fix the issue NEC is running into. *** Bug 129498 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A fix for this problem has just been committed to the RHEL3 U4 patch pool this evening (in kernel version 2.4.21-20.5.EL). An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-550.html |
