Escalated to Bugzilla from IssueTracker
hmm, bit 6 isn't completey ignored. From arch/i386/kernel/traps.c, io_check_error() is called. Is the request simply to have a configurable kernel panic in this situation?
PM ACK for U6
This should really be in the NEEDINFO state as per comment #4.
Reverting to ASSIGN_TO_PM state.
RHEL3 is entering maintenance mode, this request is not acceptable for consideration in U8. Marking this entry as closed wontfix.
