It looks like I get to upgrade the kernel again anyway: redhat.com <snip> 1. Topic: Red Hat, Intel and Dell have uncovered a problem with the Red Hat Linux 6.2 for the x86 (Intel) processor. This problem has been duplicated and confirmed in our lab, though we have had no reports from customers at large. This problem affects all OEM system manufacturers shipping Red Hat Linux 6.2 preinstalled on x86 processor-based systems. 2. Problem description: Under extremely heavy load, data corruption can occur if a page fault occurs during a task switch between kernel space and user space on x86 platforms. This problem may affect customer systems, particularly systems that are swapping to disk very heavily (thrashing), or are otherwise very heavily loaded. Lightly loaded servers are unlikely to be affected. This issue affects all x86 compatible systems running the kernels listed below. Red Hat, Inc. suggests that all x86 systems running Red Hat Linux 6.2 and/or the 2.2.13-0.13, 2.2.14-5.0, and 2.2.14-6.1 kernels upgrade to this latest kernel release. <snip>
