Hello,
With Update 3, RedHat released a new kernel.  This new kernel is also a 
security and bug fix kernel.  I'm just a little hesitant to push it out yet 
because we've often had problems with new update kernels.  So I'm putting it in 
the testing area and asking you all to give it a try.
It's installed and worked on all the machines I've tried it on, both real and 
virtual, both 32 and 64 bit.  But I'd really like some more testers.

NOTE:  I haven't gotten XFS (the file system) to compile yet for it.  So do not 
test this if you are using XFS.

To test

SL5
-------
         yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update kernel\*


Thanks
Troy
