/var/log/messages file
My /var/log/messages file -- note that on the last boot, the kernel tainted

loading by disabling it in the BIOS.

Above patch is in the test kernels here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel5/ Do they resolve the issue? John, howdy, Would this patch be possible to be added into the RHEL5.2 GA? This bug would affect our hardware certification process on RHEL5.2 GA. Thanks, /Xu I think it is too late for 5.2 -- maybe Don will contradict me. It is too late for 5.2. You will have to go through SEG to get this into 5.2.z New test kernels with an alternative fix are here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/rhel5/ Please give them a try and verify that the problem disappears...thanks! in kernel-2.6.18-107.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 Partners, this bug should be fixed in the latest RHEL 5.3 Snapshot.
