I have installed the new updates yesterday as well, but I have not yet reboot to use the new kernels on either my x86_64 laptop, nor an i586 desktop that I use only for testing. Both are still running. Possibly because I have not yet rebooted. Neither have any ext4 filesystems on them. Just a data point for you to compare to. -- Kevin J.
