This is a continuation of the discussion from bug 363961. The proposed patch should be posted in this bugzilla. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. Tomas, I'm assuming there is a version bump in this as well? If so could you update the summary line to reflect that? Need the usual bullet items for an exception request post beta kernel; 1) business justification So it seems there is a real bug hanging the system, but this request is for a complete rebase and looking at the patch pointed to by bug 363961 a wc -l shows some 3000+ lines of code. 2) patch status, is patch upstream 3) the fnal patch attached to the bz or a clear pointer to said 4) testing status 5) test plan QE Can't ack without this data. Martin, Based on discussions Tomas had with the developer, I do believe that these fixes are important, and that we should take them. Especially if we are able to get this in the beta kernel. Chip has acked the patch on rhkernel-list. Thanks for the qa_ack, and thanks to all for moving quickly on this very late patch. Tom QE nack to bringing in these changes during beta. There's too much change involved to bring in after feature-complete date. Would be a tremendous validation burden on QE. OK, maybe I was a bit hasty in comment 7. The latest 5.2-candidate kernel (-72.el5) includes acrmsr-1.20.00.15.RH . . . which appears to cause legitimate system hangs. What's the scope of the patch being proposed here to fix those? If this request is really "fix some bugs present in 1.20.00.15.RH then I'm fine with that coming in during beta . . . that's the whole point of beta. A complet rebase of the driver? That's a different matter entirely. (In reply to comment #8) > OK, maybe I was a bit hasty in comment 7.

A complet > rebase of the driver? That's a different matter entirely. I'm not aware of that the previous patch is causing system hangs etc. So it doesn't fix problems in our latest version. It has more then 1000 lines, but most of them are simple type changes, so I think we shouldn't talk about complete rebase. in 2.6.18-74.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 Nick, now it's your time, please install and test the patched kernel(2.6.18-74.el5) thoroughly. Tomas, I have run the test for a whole week. So far so good. Nick, thanks for the cooperation, I hope this is for now finished. 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.
