3. Solution
We are sorry about the late release of the new kernel, but the plain 2.2.16 kernel causes trouble with our patches and it also has a new security hole. After we solved all these problems, we hope, we could provide you with a more stable and more secure kernel.
Please, update the package from our FTP server. (These RPMs could also be used by SuSE Releases < 6.4!)
Will there also be a version available, that will not crash the X-server with Jun 30 23:05:41 lutzpc kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd...

Back to 2.2.14 and I better do not upgrade the zillion machines in the institute..
We currently test a new kernel, which fix' this VM bug.
If you don't want to upgrade your kernel but fix the capability bug, then try this (http://c.home.cern.ch/c/cons/www/capcheck/) kernel modules.

Hi, maybe some kind of process murderer was still aware in kernel 2.2.13.SuSE. Some time ago, I was trying to run several memory consuming processes in parallel at my pc. Linux began to swap out some memory, and then VM killed named.
