Hello,
The new security update for SL5 has been built and is currently being
tested.
I plan on releasing this kernel tomorrow.  But I also know that alot of
people want/need it as soon a possible, so I have put it into the
general testing area so people can install it if they want.

It is best to remove SL_fix_bad_km before updating your kernel.
Removing SL_fix_bad_km will not put the bad kernel modules back.
I have also updated SL_fix_bad_km so that it doesn't run it's script 
when you update your kernel, but it is really best to remove it.

To test or update

SL5
-------
If you have SL_fix_bad_km installed
    rpm -e SL_fix_bad_km
fi

     yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update kernel\*

or you can download rpm's by hand at
