--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2006-995 2006-09-25 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : kernel Version : 2.6.18 Release : 1.2189.fc5 Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Description : The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This large update rebases the kernel to the latest stable upstream release, 2.6.18, which fixes a huge number of bugs, in over 6000 independant changes. In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper installed See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207474 for further details. Users of Xen, note that this update requires a new xen userspace update, which will be following shortly. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Thu Sep 21 2006 Juan Quintela <quintela@xxxxxxxxxx> - re-enable xen. - update xen: * linux-2.6 changeset: 34294:dc1d277d06e0 * linux-2.6-xen-fedora changeset: 36184:47c098fdce14 * xen-unstable changeset: 11540:9837ff37e354 - update xen HV to changeset: 11540:9837ff37e354 - xen HV printf rate limit (rostedt). * Wed Sep 20 2006 Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx> - 2.6.18 * Tue Sep 19 2006 Juan Quintela <quintela@xxxxxxxxxx> - updated xen configs to sync with rawhide ones (don't be afraid, xen0/xenU still around). - xen update. * linux-2.6 changeset: 34228:ea3369ba1e2c * linux-2.6-xen-fedora changeset: 36109:eefcfd07d102 * linux-2.6-xen changeset: 22905:d8ae02f7df05 * xen-unstable changeset: 11460:1ece34466781ec55f41fd29d53f6dafd208ba2fa * Mon Sep 18 2006 Dave Jones <davej@xxxxxxxxxx> - Bring back 586smp - Fix RTC lockdep bug.
