Anybody else having serious problems with the 2.6.9-22 kernel that  
just came out for SL4?

I have yum set to autoupdate.  I have just found out that all of the  
30 or so Dell Optiplex GX280's we have that have  been rebooted are  
all hanging on boot.  There doesn't seem to be anyway to get to a  
root console on them either, it doesn't bring up networking and hangs  
on the "setting up swap space" or it goes to a blank screen.

At this point I don't see anyway to revert to the previous state  
other than reinstalling.  It's not a big deal here though since we  
use network home directories.  Just want to get the word out before  
it bites someone else.
