I think I may. I haven't tried yet, but I'll see if I can get my hands on one and test it tomorrow when I'm back at the office tomorrow. RH closed my bug as "WONTFIX" so far, saying Red Hat Quality Engineering Management declined the request. I started to look at the Red Hat source browser to see the list of patches from 693 to 514, but getting the full list seems impossible because the change log only goes back to 644 and there doesn't seem to be a way to obtain full builds of unreleased kernels. Unless I'm mistaken. I will also do some digging via RH support if I can. -- Kevin Stange Chief Technology Officer Steadfast | Managed Infrastructure, Datacenter and Cloud Services 800 S Wells, Suite 190 | Chicago, IL 60607 312.602.2689 X203 | Fax: 312.602.2688 kevin at steadfast.net | www.steadfast.net
