what has become of the latest kernel hang/freeze bug?

hi there, the latest suse security announcement for the dhcp packages doesnt list any pending problems with the kernel packages. i was wondering if i have missed anything about ths discussion regarding the freezes and hangs many people experienced when this kernel updates was released for the floating point exception problem. how did people work around the freeze when booting this new kernel, or does suse have any plans on fixing/rereleasing another kernel that fixes this bug? thanks already for any hints. cheers andy
