Since RHEL 6.2 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.

Could you give me more information, as I'm "not authorized to access bug #693830." and I see that bug is "CLOSED WORKSFORME" but I still see this message (kernel 2.6.32-131.21.1.el6.x86_64), Alexander also confirmed bug. So I don't know what to do?
