Description Ed Eyles 2012-02-22 11:23:05 UTC

Description of problem:
There is a kernel ACPI bug which has been fixed in ACPICA version 20111123.  ACPICA bug 937 (http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=937) and CentOS bug 5298 (http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5298) refer.  RHEL bugs 710720, 723997 and 743581 may also be related.  

This fix needs to be rolled into the RHEL kernel.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:26:01 UTC

Since RHEL 6.3 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 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:27:12 UTC

This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 John Shortt 2015-10-08 18:16:42 UTC

Many minor releases have shipped for RHEL6.  If you still believe this to be a critical problem, please submit a new BZ against the latest version.

Thanks
