Verified that the cpucache info in cpuinfo is being reported correctly, in RHEL5.2 Snaphot4.
An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0314.html
Why do we need an ERRATA? This is included and working.
All updates (include the 5.2 kernel) are released as ERRATAs. By closing this out and resolving it as ERRATA is the normal lifecycle of the bugs we maintain. This lets us known which update the bug was fixed in (in this case the 5.2 kernel).
