8.0? Read 9.1?
8.*, 9.0: old kernel: 2.4.21-238 8.*: new kernel: 2.4.21-241 9.0: (seemingly) new kernel: 2.4.21-238 I meant to say that this is confusing, at best.
An intermediate kernel - it shouldn't be cought by YOU/fou4s, _because_ it is not the complete fix yet. 8.1 and 8.2 are out already, 9.0 is being worked on, still.
My observations: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/k_deflt-2.4.21-238.i586.rpm Aug 11 09:32 this pretends to be a new file by the date shown, it isn't ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/rpm/i586/k_athlon-2.4.21-238.i586_en info Aug 11 16:50 Description: This update fixes a problem of the earlier fix for the signal queuing DoS with threaded applications, which could occasionaly leave zombie threads. new patch info file: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/update/9.0/patches/kernel-51570/ This update fixes a problem of the earlier fix for the signal queuing DoS with threaded applications, which could occasionaly leave zombie threads. None of this is true and the rpm file dated Aug 11 09:32 per the web page is actually identical with the rpm I downloaded on Aug 10. Would you agree that something's wrong here? If you are still working on the fix then you shouldn't push out new documentation which says otherwise and is incorrect. If that is an intermediate kernel which should partly fix the problem I wonder why it is identical with the kernel dated July 30 I got via fou4s on Aug 10 (md5sum is 2f0b04a5a541dc7e968e34cb673212a0). Nothing of this fits together. It looks to me like you pushed out some information too early or someone hosed the replacement of the rpm and put the old rpm with a new date in place.
