Frank, thank you for posting this.

Has anyone on the list patched a Fedora Core 6 install as suggested inthe bug notes? If so, did you have any problems with it?


Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Regards,
Langdon

I just installed vanilla 2.6.24.2 (the fixed version) from kernel.orgon my FC6 box. Works fine.


Regards,

John
