Hello,
We have had our first kernel security update following the release of SL
5.6.  We have tested it on a SL5.0 machine.  It installs, runs and
openafs works on it.  I would feel much better if others ran it to make
sure it works for them.

Can others test this kernel out on their machines to make sure it
doesn't break something we didn't expect.

I have also put the new kvm into the x86_64 testing area with the kernel.

To test or update

SL5
-------

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

or you can download rpm's by hand at

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/i386/kernel/
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/5rolling/testing/x86_64/kernel/

kernel-2.6.18-238.1.1.el5

Thanks
Troy Dawson
