---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Multiple kernel bugs were fixed, including generic kernel bugs,
x86-specific bugs, and IA-64-specific bugs.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - athlon, i386, i586, i686, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.1k - athlon, i386, i586, i686, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - athlon, i386, i586, i686, ia64
3. Problem description:
reboot=bios did not always work because of a bug that has been fixed
(#64394)
Linux's use of Page Global Extension (PGE) was not correct for P4
processors; this showed up as a very rare bug, and it has been
fixed by disabling PGE for these CPUs in this release.
NAT over CIPE has been enabled.
The eicon ISDN driver has been enabled.
The sym53c8xx_2 driver was added as a workaround for a platform
incompatibility issue on some configurations of the HP x4000
Cases where touching some swap would slow the system down
disproportionately have been fixed by using greedy swap
reclamation. (#60079)
A variety of IA-64-specific bugs were fixed:
#63952, #62982, #52341, #64492, #65011, #65010
4. Solution:
The procedure for upgrading the kernel manually is documented at:
http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/kernel-upgrade/
Please read the directions for your architecture carefully before
proceeding with the kernel upgrade.
Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many
people find this to be an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat
Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system. Note that you need to select the kernel
explicitly on default configurations of up2date.
5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):
63952 - RTEs not programmed correctly during boot
62982 - clone2() call not allocating 16 byte scratch stack area
52341 - Single processor Big Sur aborts during 7.2 release candidate boot
64492 - Red Hat 7.2 with kernel 2.4.9-18 does not reset after an MCA
65011 - Fix for IA32 GDT initialization
65010 - Fix for sys32_munmap page alignment
64394 - Unreliable reboots with "reboot=bios" option.
60079 - touching swap causes strange paging behavior afterwards
