Hi Troy, does this security update also inlcude the patches for AMD Phenom II X6 CPUs to ensure the full performance of the 6-cores CPU with activated power management?
Here is a link to a german article on heise-online dealing with that problem: http://www.heise.de/open/artikel/Performance-Schwaeche-bei-AMDs-Phenom-II-X6-unter-Linux-992514.html The following links link to kernel patches mentioned in the article: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/969032 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/969032/focus=969035 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/969032/focus=980430 http://git.kernel.org/linus/b810e94c9d8e3fff6741b66cd5a6f099a7887871 Best regards, Michael. P.S. Is there any progress with the "XFS on software RAID 5"-problem? Troy Dawson schrieb: > Hello, > The new kernel security update for SL5 has been built and is currently > being tested.
