Comment 3 Jim Paradis 2006-02-09 22:14:07 UTC

Have you tried the U3 beta kernel?  If so, does the problem persist?  There is a
fix for another similar-looking problem in U3, we hope it fixes this one as well.

Comment 4 Benedikt Schaefer 2006-02-10 08:10:51 UTC

Which kernel version is it?
Where can I find it?
I have tried kernel-smp-2.6.9-22.0.1.ELsmp but it's the same.

Comment 5 Benedikt Schaefer 2006-02-24 07:47:31 UTC

Pleas can you tell me where I can download thie U3 beta kernel. 
It is important for us to test it. 
 
Thanks

Comment 6 Jim Paradis 2006-09-20 19:32:16 UTC

Have you managed to locate and install an up-to-date kernel?  Does the problem
persist?  I suspect it is fixed because we fixed similar problems in U3 and U4.

Comment 7 Benedikt Schaefer 2006-09-21 06:35:47 UTC

The problem is solved with RHEL4U3 kernel 2.6.9-34.ELsmp 
 
Thanks for your help. 
 
best regards
