I can't test the fixes, but now the new kernel makes no difference with the previous one on this i586 box, so that's positive.

Hello,


Tested on Mageia release 1 (Official) for x86_64 and I can confirm that the 
update of kernel-server-2.6.38.8-6 work for me really correctly.

The bug #1954 is fixed. udevd process now work correctly.

$ uname -r
2.6.38.8-server-6.mga

Thank you.

David, are you able to confirm it is fixed i586 too? 

I don't have the udevd problem.

Really sorry claire ,but no i can't test this on i586.

So far this new kernel work fine on my i586 laptop and my other x86_64 laptop too.  I don't see any problem.

https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1954#c63 :

"The xen-pvops rpm packages are missing on i586, as well as the
kernel-server-latest and kernel-server-devel-latest."

Thanks Manuel.  :-) I'll try to be more careful which bug report I'm looking
at, when adding a comment.

Reassigning back to developer until the rpm packages show up in
the repositories as per comment 6.

hey ! "on i586," :)

Ok, then it's more like a BS problem :S

Gah,

BS missed to upload those...

They are now available on primarsy mirror, so they should soon be on public mirrors.

Got them.  Will test shortly.

Any idea why the BS keeps doing this?

Testing complete on i586.  All 5 versions boot, kde starts, sound works, etc.
Glad to see make xconfig works again, for the source.
kernel-doc installs ok.

Testing on x86_64 since the beginning at the week, and all is OK for me.

Old i586 laptop intel everything and x86_64 Q6600 desktop nvidia graphics been using this since it was available no problems noticed.

As this update fixes bug 1954, and has not shown any regressions, I'm
going to go ahead and validate the update.

Can someone from the sysadmin team push the srpm
kernel-2.6.38.8-6.mga1.src.rpm
from Core Updates Testing to Core Updates.

Advisory:
This update addresses the folloving CVE:
* FUSE_NOTIFY_INVAL_ENTRY didn't check the length of the write so

  fuse_copy_fill().
  User able to mount FUSE filesystems can use this flaw to crash 
  the system. (CVE-2011-3353)
* tasktats: make taskstats require root access 
  (prevents information leak, addendum to CVE-2011-2495)

Other fixes in this release:
* proc: fix a race in do_io_accounting
* fix keucr in staging to not conflict with scsi namespace
* revert "ide: Convert to bdops->check_events()" merged in upstream
  2.6.38.8 as it introduced regression for some users regarding
  udev getting stuck at 100% cpu (mga #1954)

Added hardware support:
* add Intel C600 Series Chipset SAS Controller support
* Input: wacom - add support for Lenovo tablet ID 0xE6 (mga #2811)
