Guys, your problem descriptions lack a simple detail: The kernel version.
2.4.0-64GB-SMP
If anybody gets mails multiple times, please send all copies to draht@suse.de, including _all_ header lines that you have. Please try to compile ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mantel/next/linux-2.4.3.SuSE-7.tgz . This is the most recent kernel in our row, and it runs quite stable so far. As far as this kernel issue is concerned, I'm afraid to say that it's not a security issue any more, except for the bugs in 2.2.18- and the packetfilter bug in 2.4.2.
I cannot use the 2.2.18 kernel since I have multiple PCI buses. I have tried using the 2.4.3 kernel from the SuSE source, but I have not had the time to fix the other issues (usbmgr, audio, etc...). Thanks and sorry!!
