Hello,
There was a bugfix update for SL4 today.  This update might fix a USB problem 
that has been happening with the last kernel update.  It also fixes DNS Servers 
using predictable port numbers. I personally think that is a security issue, so 
I'm not sure why it's labeled only as a bug fix.

Anyway, if people could test this kernel, especially those that are having USB 
problems, it would be great.

To test

SL4
-------
     yum --enablerepo=sl-testing update kernel\*

Thanks
