Many fixes were addressed in the release 2.4.20-35.7.legacy which I prepared back in June. This release was fully QAd and has been sitting in updates-testing since 7th July. I can't comment on why it hasn't been released since - it was decided to push ahead with releasing that at the time to prevent a snowball effect (as it was apparent that more fixes were going to continue to come out over the following weeks and months), but nothing has happened (with this or any other package that I know of) since. I can only presume that Jesse has been too busy to work on FL things. The preparation of this release is discussed in <http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1484> Since then Jon Peatfield along with others have prepared 2.4.20-37.9.legacy which has been available for QA since 7th August. That release needs a bit more QA before it can be released, probably but I have the kernel running on around 100 assorted redhat 7.3 machines with no problems so far that I can pin down to be the fault of that kernel. That package is discussed at <http://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=1804> with the announcement of the packages themselves hidden away in the attachment <http://bugzilla.fedora.us/attachment.cgi?id=800&action=view> But note that you will need to recompile the package without NPTL support for redhat 7.3. I had meant to release my SRPM for 7.3 for completeness last week but didn't have time before I went away. I'll do so this evening when I have access to my GPG key since noone else has done so to my knowledge.
