Any pointers? This kernel does fix the intel hda sound on the 
dell precision 390 that got broken with -42.0.3. We wants it...

I take it then that 4.5 will have this. Good news.

Could we update OpenAFS in 4.5? I've put up my latest SRPM in 
http://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~wiesand/SL4/

It's 1.4.4 plus selected patches gobbled up from CVS. Many known bugs are 
fixed, but of course chances are there are new ones. This build has
received some testing here on a variety of SL4 systems for the last week, 
and it's been doing well so far.

Cheers,
