Comment 7 Shane Huang 2010-10-09 08:43:27 UTC
Where can I download rpm package with the above kernel version?

Thanks,

Re comment 6:

This bug needs to be tested by AMD. The AMD team working on chipset bugs is remote and need access to a kernel on a people page to be able to download and test it - they don't have access to our internal builds.

Shane, Russ

Here are a couple arches; please test and post feedback before Wed 27th

http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.4.1.el6.s390x.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Thanks. Let me know if you need additional arches

Chris, Can you also upload the kernel-firmware package?

Thanks,

Comment 15 Chris Ward 2010-10-27 10:32:29 UTC
@AMD, Please post us your test results as soon as possible. Thanks.

Comment 17 Shane Huang 2010-11-08 08:34:13 UTC
Sorry for the late response, kernel-2.6.32-71.4.1.el6.x86_64 has fixed the issue.
