Hi,
the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at
which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained.

a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link:
http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html

please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the
release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a
link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by
bug number.

Cheers,
Don

Verified that the cpucache info in cpuinfo is being reported correctly, in 
RHEL5.2 Snaphot4.

Comment 17 errata-xmlrpc 2008-05-21 15:04:41 UTC
An advisory 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.

Comment 18 Jason Gaston 2008-05-21 18:27:01 UTC
Why do we need an ERRATA?  This is included and working.

Comment 19 Don Zickus 2008-05-21 19:01:21 UTC
All updates (include the 5.2 kernel) are released as ERRATAs.  

By closing this out and resolving it as ERRATA is the normal lifecycle of the
bugs we maintain.  This lets us known which update the bug was fixed in (in this
case the 5.2 kernel).
