Comment 1 IBM Bug Proxy 2008-09-25 02:50:27 UTC

I mirrored this request against the kernel component on the Red Hat side. If the
investigation points a different direction, please request that the RH BZ be
retargeted. Thanks, Emily

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2008-10-03 17:29:58 UTC

Putting in NEEDINFO pending the 'root cause analysis still in progress.'

Comment 3 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-01-28 19:01:03 UTC

Aneesh is working on this now.

Comment 4 IBM Bug Proxy 2009-03-02 17:21:04 UTC

This issue is still under investigation, we will revisit this when there are some results from investigation and determine at that point if feature, bug, or technical note/white paper is appropriate response.

This feature has been deferred from RHEL 6.  We do not know what needs to be done yet so we will relook at this for RHEL 6.1

Comment 6 John Jarvis 2009-03-25 16:37:20 UTC

Closing as DEFERRED based on comment 5
