It would/could impact CentOSPlus. Yes, it _could_ affect the centosplus kernel. This point was addressed early on when RHEL-6 was released back in Nov 2010. See: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=4586 Point 2 (note 12051) is the one that is relevant. I welcome any feedback / suggestions for the proposed method I outlined there. While you are there, look also at the issues described for Point 3 (note 12052). Anyone can help in there as well. :) So far, "luckily" centosplus kernels are "ahead of" the distro kernel in that they have been built and are available for testing (see note 12502). Akemi
