Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-04-22 06:01:21 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Jeff Layton 2011-05-02 18:39:54 UTC
Probable duplicate of bug 672305. Please retest with the Beta kernel when it becomes available and reopen if you're still able to reproduce the same problem.
