Because of the potential impact of the vulnerability, I can understand that such an error is made when customers are demanding updates yesterday. But things have calmed down now.
I get kernel oopses, kernel BUGs, altogether slow I/O, kernel threads stuck in uninterruptable sleep, and crashes. Not good.
I'm running 8.1 as well with the k_deflt-2.4.21-151 kernel. No problems thus far. I think SuSE did mention this was a stop-gap until the proper 8.1 kernel patch is sorted out. Regards - Keith
