Mike:

Does this also apply to the PTF for the paging kernel bug we found 
(kernel-default-3.0.101-0.15.1.6580.16.PTF.859225.s390x.rpm)?

If it does, the bug is pretty rare; we haven't hit it in a few machine-months 
of operation...

Thanks for warning us!

Subject: Re: SLES 11 SP3 problems


Marcy,

 Everyone should hold off testing this release, until a fixed one is
released. Today SuSE says:

You might have seen the note that a SLES11 SP3 kernel was released last
week.

Unfortunately this last SLE11-SP3 update kernel, has a fatal regression
that can trigger a kernel Oops/BUG during network operation.

The kernel was removed from the official update channel and is not
available anymore.

However customers might have downloaded it already or especially customers
with a running SMT server are likely to still have a working copy of that
problematic kernel.

In case you know about customers who updated the kernel already or you come
accross a kernel Oops, the problematic kernel version is: -3.0.101-0.18.1
                                                                       
 Thank you for your help,

For inquiring minds, the fix for this just hit the SUSE service stream.
