More than likely, SUSE will _not_ issue a 2.4.24 kernel.  What usually
happens is that the fix for a particular problem is back-ported to the level
they're currently distributed.  This avoids problems with ISV software
needing to be recertified on a new kernel, etc.

SUSE has issued fixes for all their other architectures.  I would imagine
they have issued one for S/390 and zSeries as well.

Subject: Kernel 2.4.24 available for SLES8?


We are still working on our support contact so I am not sure I can get the
quick and dirty from SuSE yet, so I wonder does anyone in this group know
the availability status of 2.4.24 for SLES8?  Also, anything to watch for
or perhaps a readme for fixes, enhancements etc. . .

Our security folks want us at this level ASAP so if it is available this
could light the fire under our purchasing group.

Thanks!
