Hi Andrius,

Could you please ask proper partner to test this bug for us?
the kernels are here:
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-firmware-2.6.32-71.13.1.el6.noarch.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.13.1.el6.i686.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.13.1.el6.x86_64.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.13.1.el6.ppc64.rpm
http://people.redhat.com/kzhang/kernel-2.6.32-71.13.1.el6.s390x.rpm

Security team said that there is no embargo bug in this erratum, so should be
ok to give partner to test. the erratum GA date is 2011-01-06, but the earlier
we get test result, the better.

thanks a lot!

Emulex - the following needs to be tested ASAP - please see test kernels listed above.
