1. Don't run the SMP kernel. Use kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl instead. If you have a single processor box, you will lose hyper-threading. Probably not what you want.
This sounds to me like I really shouldn't upgrade the kernel with yum...
I still have the "default" SMP kernel and I have no problems whatsoever.
Of course, theres some exploit, but I gathered it was a local exploit and I have the server in a closed environment anyways.
But since the problem seems to be with the "new" SMP I should keep the old one?!
