Hi List,


I'v rebuild the latest kernel (2.6.18-92.1.10.el5) with patch BZ#453094 included.
That new kernel is build as a kernel variant named "SoC" (like "xen" or "PAE")
so it can be installed whithout replacing any stock kernel.

There is a sligth difference with the default kernel : for use in my lab I've to
enable Samba/CIFS & IEEE1394 Firewire support (can be cheked in the ".config")

The kernel variant can be found here :

ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distributions/slsoc/5x/i386/i386/SL/kernel-SoC-2.6.18-92.1.10.el5.i686.rpm

Hope this helps.
