This bug has been copied from bug #489582 and has been proposed to be backported to 5.3 z-stream (EUS).
IBM, please add business justification to go along with the request for the next 5.3.z. Thanks!
Jasse, please tell us which patches for this bz do we need for 5.3.z? I see 10 patches for 506905 (5.4 bz) in 5.4 tree. Or is there a need to make 5.3.z-specific patch? Thanks.
in kernel-2.6.18-128.8.1.el5
Hi Jiri, Can you please give me the errata #, and when it is expected to be released. Thanks
Hi Chandra, errata # is RHSA-2009:8875 and current plan is to release that September 29. Right now everything looks good, so we should meet this date.
Hi Chandra, have you test this kernel? If yes, is result good? If not tested, could you please test it? thanks a lot.
Isn't the errata getting released only tomorrow ? (Sep 29 ?) Is there a link where I can download it from ? Can you give me a pointer for the source.

Hi, I just logged into https://rhn.redhat.com and looked under erratas, I fid not find the errata referred in comment #11. I even tried to search for the given errata # and it didn't find any errata. Am I looking at the wrong place ?
I do not see the errata RHSA-2009-1466 at https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/errata/Overview.do. I see few numbers before and numbers after 1466. Is there a delay ? When I go to the URL in comment #18, I do not see the packages. Please help.
Hi Chandra, Very sorry for the late, I'm having holiday in the past 7 days. to comment #20, errata number has been changed from RHSA-2009:8875 to RHSA-2009:1466. to comment #21, I saw there are RHSA-2009-1466 at https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/errata/Overview.do . And also there are packages in the URL in comment #18. please try again. if still can't find it, please let me know.
This errata should be available via RHN. I have also checked and found it using the simple search tool at the top of the page. I selected "Errata" and used 1466 as the search keywords.
