--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Test Update Notification FEDORA-2007-058 2007-01-11 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 6 Name : kernel Version : 2.6.19 Release : 1.2895.fc6 Summary : The Linux kernel (the core of the Linux operating system) Description : The kernel package contains the Linux kernel (vmlinuz), the core of any Linux operating system. The kernel handles the basic functions of the operating system: memory allocation, process allocation, device input and output, etc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
This is a large rebase to the latest upstream stable kernel (2.6.19.2) Complete changelogs available at www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19 www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19.1 www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.19.2
This update also introduces 'kernel-debug', a variant with additional debugging options enabled. These kernels may run with lower performance and increased memory overhead than the non-debug variants. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Jan 10 2007 Dave Jones davej@redhat.com - 2.6.19.2 * Tue Jan 9 2007 Dave Jones davej@redhat.com - GFS2 update. * Mon Jan 8 2007 Dave Jones davej@redhat.com - Enable pktcdvd for 586.

Nit: I can't find any mention of just what is the [SECURITY] update about. If it really is an important security update, please make the nature of it more obvious so I can tell if it's important to me.

odd. I filled out the CVE's in the update tool, and the script that mails out the announcemnet stripped them out. You can find them in the 2.6.19.2 changelog that was linked in the text though.

The update mail only contains what you add as the advisory notes. I plan on modifying the template for Fedora 7 update announcements to add references such as Bugs and CVE's.

This works fine on my Pentium 4 (with a single PATA disk on sata-promise and a software RAID 0 on the regular IDE controller). It also works fine in an x86_64 QEMU virtual machine.
Users of out-of-tree wireless drivers will have some "fun" though. Here's some patches against Ralink's rt2570 2.0.8.0 (based on the fixes in the rt2x00 CVS), which may also be useful as a reference for those wanting to fix other WLAN drivers.
