Hello,
Traditionally the first kernel for a minor update is full of bugs so we 
generally don't release it in regular security area.  Traditionally The 
Upstream Vendor (TUV) releases a new kernel to fix those bugs fairly 
quickly.

The 2.6.9-100 kernel for SL4 seems to break the tradition.  It's been 
four months and nobody has complained about a major bug.  And TUV hasn't 
released a new kernel to fix the kernel.

So we will be releasing this kernel into the general security updates 
tomorrow June 14, 2011.

We are putting it testing for those who have not yet tried out this 
kernel and/or want to give it one last test.

To test or update

SL4
-------

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

or you can download rpm's by hand at

Thanks
