I'm going to guess that SUSE will fix it. It's a security fix, but I don't know what was "broken" in the kernel.
A bug in the way the FPU was managed let user space programs crash the system at will.
Ok.....thanks. 'Don't think I'm very worried about that.
Thanks!

I updated the kernel-sources and compiled yesterday, everything works OK even my scsi 4 old drives (at least 4 to 5 years).
BUT, as with all the kotd kernels since june 7th, the nvidia module compiles but won't load due to different source and kernel versions !!! (I compiled from the sources)
I suspected the new way to build version.h and revert to the old way, I didn't forget to downgrade the script "running-kernel" and the nvidia and vmware compile and load !!
So something is wrong with the versionning ! After looking the new "running-kernel" script, I think that the problem could come from that it seems to be necessary to reboot (or at least to run : /etc/init.d/running-kernel start) after installing the sources. It is not written in the README.
I'll have a try as soon as possible.
