Looks very much alike the known bug described at http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2912 / https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443853 and also listed at the end of http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.2#head-447967c60eb305ef2...
It does, thanx, but how could the Johnny's Kernel from http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel/5/bz443853/x86_64/ be used in a production environment? I mean, would I receive the regular kernel updates or would I always be stuck with that particular kernel version/binary?
The fix will be in CentOS 5.3. So, at this point, you would either have to wait for 5.3 or use Johnny's kernel for now. I believe a newer (current) version of the patched kernel will be made available as soon as developers find the time to build.
